Hot Summer Beauty Trend - Metallic Lips are In!

I don't care how old you are!  If you want to wear something, like Nike says Just Do It!  Metallic Lips are the new trend!  You can make the metallic more subtle or if you go all glam and vibrant.  As we all know the matte lip is still in and going strong!  The frosted lip can really make for a fun but wearable look.  Pair it with a soft, subtle eye look and you've got your day look.  You can make it a frost or more of a satin look if the metallic is too bold for your day look.  You can create a "wet" look.

Keep in mind that it's important to exfoliate your lips every night.  Here are a couple of exfoliators that are great to use.  The Elf one is awesome and a great price. You can search DIY lip scrubs online to see how to make your own.  Scroll down for the variety of metallic lips looks.

Then before you put on your metallic lip, moisturizer with an EOS balm or some moisturizing balm - see below for some great options. The metallic lip just like the matte lip can show every wrinkle if it's a vibrant color so if you start with a smooth base and then the lipstick will go on smoother.

Let say you have a special event or a night on the town, you should without a doubt ROCK THIS LOOK!  The key to playing up your lips is to keep the rest of your face fresh, minimal and shine-free to avoid an overload of face shimmer.  As you see, you can be totally outrageous and go glam or keep it more of a satin/wet look with the metallic but not have it be so bold.
