A sweet new lip trend is making waves this summer – honey lips. This glossy, shimmering pout evokes the glistening amber tones of honey for an irresistible, luscious effect.
Across social media, beauty lovers are buzzing about recreating the shine and decadence of honey on their lips. Videos under the #honeylips hashtag have racked up millions of views on TikTok in recent weeks. Makeup artist Eva Larosa’s viral tutorial reveals how to get the iconic honey lips look.
To achieve honey lips, start by gently exfoliating to smooth lips. Pat gold eyeshadow onto the cupid’s bow and center of the bottom lip for a highlight. Line lips with a lip pencil close to your natural lip tone or slightly darker. Finish with a high-shine gloss for maximum luster. Avoid using actual honey, which can pose skincare risks.
This sweet lip look matches a wider food-inspired beauty trend this summer. Makeup styles are taking cues from syrup, coffee, strawberries, and other treats. After pared back looks during the pandemic, makeup is back with a flavorful new boldness.
Honey lips present a refreshing, confidence-boosting statement for the hot weather. Their glistening finish adds light and life to any summer ensemble. Swap out nudes for this eye-catching take on lips. Let the compliments pour in on your new mouth-watering style.
