Glossy goodness: Unveiling the 'honey lips' makeup trend
TikTok and Instagram have now become platforms for emerging trends, especially in beauty and self-care. A trend that is becoming popular and is getting widely accepted is the 'honey lips' trend. The idea of extra glossy lips has indeed captivated social media users. Let's explore why it has become a favorite among makeup enthusiasts, and how you can achieve the look.
What are honey lips?
Although honey has many benefits for the skin, the goal here is to mimic the gloss and luster of the sweet substance on the lips rather than using it directly. The result is a look that gives your lips a delicious glow that almost drips off your lips. In contrast to bold matte styles, this trend leans toward embracing a distinctly natural aesthetic.
Here's how to get honey lips
To achieve this look, you need eyeshadow, lip gloss, and lip liner. Exfoliate your lips to ensure you have a smooth canvas. Then highlight the cupid's bow and lower lip's center with gold eyeshadow. Next, line the lips with a lip pencil that is either the same color as the lips or a little darker, and then top with a high-shine gloss.
Glossy texture for the win
The "honey lips" style radiates carefree attractiveness. It's a basic makeup style that brings out the charm of your lips' inherent beauty without being overdone. Additionally, your lips stay smooth and supple with the help of hydrating lip products. Many beauty enthusiasts are drawn to "honey lips" because of how the glossy texture makes the lips look larger and younger.
Here's how you can enhance the 'honey lips' look
Since gloss is the distinguishing feature of the "honey lips" look, choose a lip oil that feels like honey or a high-shine lip gloss. The glossier, the better. Additionally, makeup on your eyes and face should be kept to a minimum to highlight your "honey lips." The ideal balance is achieved with a light, dewy complexion and delicate eye makeup.
Other food-inspired beauty trends
"Honey lips" are part of a larger trend that has been pervasive in the beauty industry for a long time now, which involves finding cosmetics ideas for summer by looking at foods, beverages, and other sweet treats. "Syrup nails," "espresso makeup" with its coffee-inspired tints, and "strawberry makeup" for a healthy sun-kissed radiance are a few examples that have gone viral.
