Glitter Lips Tutorial

Hi guys! Glitter is the new lip craze & there are several ways to create this look. They are super sexy & go really well with any makeup look, all though I think they compliment a neutral look much better because they are sort of dramatic.

Many women are using the lip tattoos, which I don't like at all. One, they are really dry and even topping them with lip balm or gloss still leaves my lips feeling like sandpaper. Two, they flaked in small pieces without knowing it so I walked around with holes in my glitter lips. LOL
Another method I've tried is to pat craft or makeup glitter directly atop my lip gloss but this never lasted long. So I got the idea to try it another way.

Many different makeup brands have lipstick lines that are continue wear, meaning the lipstick won't fade or wear off anytime during the day. I used Covergirl Smoothwear All Day Lip Color in Soft Pink Satin. But whatever all-day lip product you have will work. Here's how to create a long lasting glitter lip!

1- Line and fill in your lips with a lip liner in a similar color to your lipstick. This will help adhere the color and make it last longer. I used Cleo lip liner in Rosey Dew.

2- On a mixing palette or clean CD, use a small lip brush to add a dime sized amount of long lasting lipstick. The glitter will absorb some of the product and make it thicker so you need a little more than you normally use. Work quickly when completing the rest of these steps because the lip product will dry quickly.

3- Add your chosen color of glitter, in the same dime sized amount. Because my lip color was a baby pink shade, I chose a white glitter.

4- Use the lipstick brush to mix the two together. If it isn't glittery enough for you, continue to add glitter but work as quickly as possible.

5- Apply the glitter long wear lipstick to your lips and allow to dry before adding any balm or gloss.

There you go! A beautiful, colored glitter lip that will last all day. The first time I tried this method, the glitter lips stayed in place for about 8 hours before it started to wear off and the color fade. Even when eating and drinking, my glitter lips still looked amazing!

Today, I did a nude lip liner and long lasting lipstick shade by Cleo with gold glitter! Fabulous!
