plumped up

this sounds more natural when talking about lips than 'repulped'

This treatment combines a relaxant effect with fast smoothing of lines and a progressive restructuring action. Thanks to its triple action, lines quickly fade, the lip contour is plumped-up and redefined, its powdered texture is easy to apply locally thanks to the end ofits tube that is specifically adapted to the lip contour area. Apply 2 to 3 times per day for a lasting effect.

thanks, Carmen
neutral MatthewLaSon : I agree with "plumped up" for "densifié". But "redensifié" means "plumped back up" Am I missing something here? I'm not trying to split hairs. LOL

the lip contour is redefined

You could also say 'plumped up', but I think 'redefined' sounds best

the lip contour is more clearly defined

I'm going out on a limb with this, but it is the lip that is generally plumped up or given more volume and the idea would probably be that the lip contour is more youthful and 'more clearly defined'

Again, just a thought...

You can build the contour of your lips back up

Hello,

They literally mean that the contour of the lips is made to look thicker once again (thicker contour line). But I don't think we'd ever use the word "thicker" in English, though, although it'd be understood.

Here, "densifier le contour des lèvres" = to build up the contour of the lips

densifier = to build up
So, "redensifier" = to build back up

See here: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml;jsessio...

I'm not sure what verb tense to use? Are we talking about someone's lip contour that has been built back up or are we talking about what a woman can do to the contour of her lips with this cosmetic product? I think it's the latter, right (advertisement)?

I hope this helps.
