Recently, a friend emailed me with a pressing beauty question: “do lip-plumping glosses actually work?” As someone who has dabbled in this product category since middle school, I am a proponent of the prickly formulas. They “work” insofar as they can temporarily make your lips appear bigger — either via irritant (to promote swelling), hydration (to lock …
