Lipstick Condoms Are Officially a *Thing* With Tiktok's "Latex Lips" Trend
When it comes to rocking lipstick (or LipStixx, as I like to affectionately call it), I have always preferred a matte finish. There's just something about that velvety, non-shiny look that I find incredibly appealing. But recently, I stumbled upon a lip trend that has taken TikTok by storm: "Latex Lips." Intrigued and curious, I decided to dive headfirst into this trend and give my lips a taste of the plump, glossy look that is reminiscent of a pair of sexy, thigh-high latex boots.
What Is The "Latex Lips" Trend?
Latex lips are characterized by their high-shine, glossy finish that mimics the appearance of latex. The trend involves applying a liquid lipstick or lip gloss with a patent-like finish, creating a statement-making pout that demands attention. The result is a unique, futuristic look that adds a touch of avant-garde to any makeup lewk.
How To Get "Latex Lips?"
To achieve the trendy "Latex Lips" look, follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Prep Before You Step
Begin by prepping and priming your lips to create a smooth canvas.
2. Line'em Up
Next, outline your lips using a lip pencil in your preferred shade. Consider filling in your entire lip with the lip liner for a more long-lasting effect.
3. Apply The Lipstick
Now, it's time to apply the star of the show - a liquid lipstick in a color that coordinates with your overall look. Make sure to evenly distribute the lipstick across your entire lip, paying special attention to the middle and outer corners for a flawless finish.
4. Gloss Up
To complete the "Latex Lips" effect, add a layer of clear lip gloss on top of the lipstick. Using a lip brush, carefully outline your pout before filling in the entire lip with the gloss. This step will enhance the latex-like shine and give your lips that extra oomph.
Remember, the key to achieving the perfect "Latex Lips" look is choosing lipstick shades in pinks, corals, browns and burgundies and adding a high-shine gloss at the end for the desired latex finish.
