Latex lips trend: A shiny statement for your pout
Lipstick trends have evolved over the years. Until recently, bold matte lip shades were in vogue. But not anymore. It is time to add some gloss and shine to it. We are talking about the latest "latex lips" trend. Unlike traditional matte lipsticks or classic glosses, latex lips take things up a notch in the shine department. Here's more about the trend.
What are latex lips?
Latex lips involve achieving an ultra-glossy and shiny finish on your lips. This new trend for picture-perfect lips is so glossy, bright, and lustrous that it casts an incredible reflection and sheen that is almost like a mirror. The style promotes an eye-catching, ultra-glamorous look that is focused on a thick coat of gloss to give the very slick appearance of latex.
Trending style
In contrast to many other trends, latex lips have already gained popularity among influencers and celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Dua Lipa. Closer home, actors Deepika Padukone and Janhvi Kapoor, among others, have been seen sporting this look as well. Latex lips have garnered many views on social media as well as been seen on the catwalks of high-end luxury brands.
How to go about it
To achieve the look, all you need is lip gloss, lipstick, and a lip pencil. To maximize the results, try using an exfoliant first to get your lips clean and clear of dead skin. Go for striking statement colors like deep plums, rich crimsons, and blazing reds. Apply copious amounts of gloss or lip oils over your lipstick, and you are set to go.
Tips to note
Experts recommend wearing subtle makeup for the rest of your look when experimenting with the latex lips trend. The lips will be the highlight of your face then. Apply a balm to your lips first, then apply a full-coverage lip liner to define the curve of your lips. To add some color, think about applying a tinted gloss.
