Get the Look -The Easiest and Simplest Way to Make This Happen ASAP
Great inspo right?! Well, as you can probably imagine the easiest way to get glittering lips is to just apply a lipstick or lip gloss that is already sparkled up in formulation. It’s simple because all you have to do is swipe on all the shiny goodness and you are good to go.
So if you like this makeup design but you are not the best when it comes to application; this route will still help you achieve maximum impact. The key is just making sure everything looks “precise” and clean. To do that, just make sure you are staying within in your lip line. You do not want sparkle flying all over the lower half of your face. Messy glitter makeup looks chic on literally NO ONE (lol); so it’s a good rule to just avoid such an outcome as much as possible.
Therefore, keep things looking Pro level by first lining your lips then like a coloring book; just fill in your desired color while staying in the lines. The end result will look cute and mesmerizing!
