LOVE all things sparkly?! Achieving the ultimate glitter pout is easier than ever!
Here are some top PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP tips for getting this look yourself…
1. Ensure that your lips are clean, dry, and well-moisturized.
2. Use a lip liner in a similar shade to the glitter to line the lips.
3. Apply your lipstick in a color that matches or complements your glitter. Use a
colored lipstick instead of a clear gloss or lip balm so that you won’t be left with
obvious gaps when your glitter rubs away or moves (and let’s face it, this WILL
happen!). If you’re using a matte liquid lipstick, you may want to follow this up
with a balm or thick gloss to give the glitter something to adhere to.
4. Get a dampened cotton swab or lip brush and dip it into your chosen glitter. OR
you can always use your finger! Now be sure to use makeup-grade glitter for this –
this isn’t the time for craft shop sparkles! – and remember that the finer your
glitter, the better it will adhere to your lips, which means a longer-lasting glitter lip.
5. Apply your glitter! You may have to apply several layers for consistency. If any
glitter falls loose during the application, you can gently use sellotape or a mascara
wand to gently remove it without messing up your makeup.
There’s a certain glamour that comes with GLITTER MAKEUP that’s undeniable, and
when done right, it can leave you looking and feeling like a million rands!
Glitter makeup might seem quite scary for anyone over the age of 18, but cosmetic
brands in 2023 have created the most spectacular collections of ‘Grown Up Glitter’ for
women of every age. And while you may feel more comfortable starting out with just a
hint of shimmer shadow, it’s Glitter Lips that will make you stand out!
Removing Glitter Lips
Glitter Lips is quick and easy to remove with an oil-based make-up remover and cotton
pads:
1. Apply a generous amount of makeup remover to a cotton pad and hold it over the
lips for 5 seconds to penetrate through the product.
2. Gently, using a circular motion, remove the glitter and lipstick. You may need to
use more than one cotton pad to remove all traces.
3. Finally, apply lashings of lip balm to restore the moisture level
