Instagram beauty trends are so fleeting: we’ve seen everything from nose hair extensions, marbled lips, and even tightlining your eyes with a metal chain. Now, we don’t really recommend doing any of them, but hey, it’s all for the gram right?
2017’s been the year for lip art, with plenty of crazy lip designs popping up – some of them disturbing (painting your lips so they look like an eye, complete with fluttery lashes and all), and some of them rivalling intricate art installations. Here’s a beauty trend for you that you can definitely try out at home: lips that other people won’t stop gawking at since they can see their reflections in them!
These lips are so reflective that they can’t be real. And you’re right – they’re not. Instagrammer Jazmina Daniel cut a piece of reflective paper to the shape of her lips, and glued it on with lash glue. You probably won’t go out in public looking like this, but it’ll look great on Instagram.
Who said Mirror Lips had to be silver? These lips belong to makeup artist Genevieve Jauquet, and she’s painted them a lush orchid shade with Anastasia Beverly Hill’s Liquid Lipsticks in Potion, Vintage, and Rio ($20 each, available on Sephora). These are ultra-glossy, and ultra-reflective.
To get Mirror Lips, you could just as easily go with a mosaic mirror look. Or stick on glittery pieces to make sure your lips are reflecting! Whatever it is, the more reflective your lips, the more on track you are with this Instagram beauty trend.
