A foiled lip is a great way to
amp up your make-up for holiday parties or New Year’s! It’s a really festive
look that’s very sultry and coy. There are metallic lipsticks out there but
nothing really that gives you a foiled look like eye shadow minerals over lip
gloss (and this way you can use something you already own!). If the idea
doesn’t sound or look pretty to you, it’s one of those things that you should
actually try first before you dismiss it… you might be surprised how sexy it
is. Here’s how:
TOOLS:
•Clear Lip Gloss — I used MAC Clear Lipglass
•Any pink/red/coral
mineral eye shadow that has a shimmer to it — I used MAC Rose pigment, a
gorgeous mauve-rose shimmer.
•Any gold/silver
mineral eye shadow that is metallic — I used MAC melon pigment- because it’s a
soft bright golden color with a little bit of a peachy tone.
STEPS:
1. Apply the gloss
all over. Blot with tissue if it’s too goopy.
2. Sprinkle the
minerals in two tiny piles on a glass palette or your countertop.
3. Press your finger
into the darker shade (rose shimmer in our case) to pick up the product.
4. Stamp the shadow
across your bottom then top lip.
5.Press your finger
into the lighter metallic shade (gold in our case).
6.Repeat stamping the
shadow across your lips. Or for a fuller lip illusion, stamp it only in the
center of both your top and bottom lips. Voila, you’re done! How pretty is that???
