***Holiday look: Foiled Lip***

                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???

 

 

To finish off your look, pair it with a smoky eye. In this case, I would go for matte shades on your eyes as not to compete with your metallic lip.  And, off to the holiday party you go! :)
