Fashion is having a nostalgic moment for decades gone by as looks with 80s, 90s and even early 2000s vibes (we see you, low-rise jeans) have graced many recent runways. Of course, beauty isn’t far behind. To wit: 90s supermodel hair is making a comeback, and brown lipstick and…
16 Runway-Approved Ways to Wear Lip Gloss Now
-
Down the Middle
Incorporate two lip trends in one look by creating a blurred lip with a neutral pink lipstick, focusing the color in the center of lips. Then apply some gloss. Go for three beauty trends by balancing the lip with bold brows.
-
On the Line
Wondering how to balance a graphic three-stripe eye? The answer is with a super shiny gloss that closely matches your natural lip color.
-
Bronzed Goddess
If metallic finishes are your favorite, pair a multidimensional brown eyeshadow with a coordinating metallic lip gloss. Keep skin matte to prevent shimmer overload.
-
Go Bold
Forget all the rules about bright makeup looks. Contrast electric coral glossy lips with pastel blue eyeshadow applied up to brows.
-
Red, Red Lips
A red lip and naked eyes look modern. A glossy red lip and naked eyes take things further. Line lips with pencil before applying lipstick and gloss for a precise finish.
-
Remixed Flick
Play around with the classic winged eyeliner and neutral lip with a nude gloss and flicked eyeliner that extends out on the top and bottom lash lines.
-
Glossy Sparkle
Get ready for evening with a smoky eye rimmed with glitter eyeliner and an ultra glossy lip. It's OK if the glitter drops off eyes. It's not meant to be perfect.
-
Golden Touch
We didn't see looks like this in the 90s. Use gold pigment, or even a metallic eyeshadow, on the very center of lips. Top it off with a clear lip gloss. Et voilà, a 24 karat pout.
-
Liquid Lips
Don't forget that there are multiple gloss shades. Try a beige lip gloss with a metallic eye for a prismatic look. A glittery liquid liner will work. Or copy The Blonds runway with a holographic flick sticker.
-
Get Lit
Make like a disco queen with a high-shine gloss that plays off sparkly eyes. We recommend this royal blue eyeshadow.
-
For Every Day
Bored with a brown daytime look? Change things up with a warm gray eyeshadow and a slick of lip gloss.
-
Mod Times
Bring a 60s eye into modern times by swapping the foundation-like lip color for a liquid-look neutral gloss. For more drama, wing out the black eyeliner and choose the boldest faux lashes available.
-
No-Makeup Makeup
Switch up a natural makeup look with a clear lip gloss. Keep the rest of the face understated by curling lashes and dabbing on matte brown eyeshadow.
-
Day to Night
Introducing the new works-for-any-occasion makeup look. A touch of black eyeliner and mascara coupled with a neutral glossy lip define features without looking overdone.
-
Some Shine
Not ready for a liquid lip look quite yet? Start off with gloss sparingly applied over a rosy lip stain. It looks like lip balm but upgraded.
-
Ultra Gloss
When lips are this striking, not much else is needed. A BB cream to even out skin and a coat of mascara are enough.
