STYLE

Rocking a crazy new lip look should be on your summer bucket list, even if you’re just showing off your pretty pout for the ‘gram. There are endless shades and styles to go with *every* outfit in your closet. The only rule? Don’t be basic. From temporary tattoos and a generous amount of glitter to electric, unconventional colors, we’ve rounded up the looks guaranteed to push you out of your beauty comfort zone.

Temporary Tattoos

AKA the easiest makeup you’ll ever apply. Lip tattoos make trendy and intricate looks accessible for those of us who aren’t seasoned makeup artists. The brand above even makes matching eyeshadow tats for the especially extra gal.

Gems & Sequins

You already use glittery appliques for your nails, so why not add the same sparkle to your lips? Pro tip: Make sure you’re using makeup sequins from a reputable brand. Craft sequins can be sharp and irritating on your skin—def not what you want near your mouth or eyes.

Lots (& Lots) Of Glitter

The glamour of glitter makes it a no-brainer for elevated makeup looks, perfect with a fancy dress or top. Copy Bella Hadid’s dark, moody shimmer, or opt for a pastel pink and wear it for your next Zoom date.

Electric Colors

This special lip stain from INC.redible cosmetics keeps your look from fading—even in the dark. Feel free to take all the late-night selfies showing off your glowing pout.

Double the fun

Because choosing between colors can feel impossible. The pic above shows an effortless combo of red and pink, but don’t feel limited to complementary shades. For a more editorial look, try choosing colors from opposite ends of the spectrum, like orange and blue. Don’t be afraid of a little contrast.
