How do you make glass lips?

Published in Makeup Trends 2 mins read

Creating the "glass lips" look involves achieving an ultra-shiny, almost wet appearance on your lips, primarily using high-shine products. According to recent trends, it's all about that glossy finish.

Achieving the Glass Lips Look

Here's a breakdown of how to get this trendy look:

1. Base Color (Optional)

  • Lip Liner: Define your lips with a lip liner in a shade close to your natural lip color or your desired lipstick color.
  • Lipstick: Apply your favorite lipstick. This step is optional; you can go straight to gloss for a more natural glass lip.

2. The Key: High-Shine Topcoat

  • Lip Gloss or Lip Oil: This is the most important step. Generously apply a high-shine lip gloss or lip oil over your bare lips or lipstick. The key is to choose a product that gives a very glossy, reflective finish.

Example Product Types

Product Type Description Benefit
Lip Gloss Adds shine and often color to the lips. Creates a glossy, reflective surface.
Lip Oil Hydrates the lips while providing a glossy finish. Nourishes lips while adding intense shine.

Tips for Maintaining the Look

  • Reapply: Lip gloss and oil tend to fade, so reapply throughout the day to maintain the glass-like effect.
  • Avoid Matte Products: Matte lipsticks and liners will counteract the glossy effect.
  • Focus on Hydration: Well-hydrated lips will enhance the overall look. Use a lip scrub and balm regularly.

In summary, creating glass lips mainly requires a high-shine lip gloss or lip oil, potentially layered over your preferred lip color (lipstick and/or liner). The key is achieving that ultra-glossy, reflective finish that mimics the look of glass.
