Natural matte lips, like Angelina Jolie's, are so sexy that the hot guy you're crushin' on might actually work up the nerve to ask you out!
Exfoliate your lips with a warm, wet wash cloth by wiping back and forth for no more than 30 seconds.
Apply a good lip plumper (the most recent in lip enhancing technology). There are a few good brands sold in department stores and beauty supply stores. They literally plump up, smooth out and moisten the lips. For a natural alternative, cayenne pepper can be used. Apply a very small amount of the powder across the lips, and top with your favorite lip gloss. The cayenne will plump and color the lips by bringing making the blood flow increase (the same action the limp plumpers create), and the gloss will provide shine and moisture.
Line and fill in your lips with a light brown or nude lip liner pencil (match your skin tone as closely as you can).
Apply a matte flesh-toned lipstick.
Blot the lipstick by gently pressing your lips closed with a tissue in between.
Tips
These steps help you achieve the look of Angelina Jolie's lips, but to get the actual fullness, you may have to consider more drastic measures like plastic surgery, collagen implants, restylane shots or tattooed outlines around your lips.
Alternatively, some lip glosses (like Lip Venom) use ginger and cinnamon to increase circulation in your lips to create fuller "bee-stung" looking lips. The cost of this beauty might be a slight burning feeling in your lips.
Reduce shine and make your lipstick last longer by adding an ever-so-thin layer of baby powder with a brush.
If the look is a bit harsh for your taste, try adding some shine with clear gloss.
Make-up artists like this trick, too. Add dimension by taking a liner about 2 shades darker than the lipstick and drawing in a "shadow line" under the middle of the bottom lip. This can be very tricky to master, so make sure you practice before you wear it out. Study pictures of celebrities who have similar lip shapes to your own and try to copy the shadow line found on them.
Warnings
Don't get so focused on your lips that you lose sight of how beautiful the rest of your face is.
A better attitude, a different style of clothing, or a different hair color might be a lot more important than attempting to mimic Hollywoods current favorite lips.

Get collagen injected into ur lips. It really works and you'll get the results you want. If you buy a lipstick type they only plump ur lips a little and it only lasts a while then they go down.

This is stupid but true. If you want to plump your lips you need to get a soda bottle and suck the air out till your lip gets sucked into the bottle. Keep it there for a few minutes and I promise, your lips will plump like a ballpark frank. I used to do this when i was a teenager

DuWop Lip Venom is great! Some people think it stings too much but it doesn't bother me.
