Girlish skin has been one of the hottest Korean beauty
trends in recent times. The popular K beauty trend refers to skin that looks
incredibly smooth, shiny, and reflective (like glass) and the trend has
inspired a similar lip look. Glass lips are believed to describe a pout that
has a high intensity shine and an almost jelly-like texture. Creating the look of
juicy lips is a breeze, requiring only two products (yes, only two!). Come and
watch celebrity and editorial makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes explain how to
get glass lips.

Step one: use a transparent lip gloss product

To show us how to create glass lips, Hughes begins by
applying a vibrant pink lip. "I just place this in the center of the lip,
paying attention to the width of the mouth," says Hughes. While you don't
have to wear the exact same shade as Hughes, wearing a lipstick from the same
color family as your natural lipstick will really help create that reflective,
glassy look.
Step two: polish the edges with a brush

Glass lips are supposed to look natural and fuzzy, so once
you've applied your color, you'll want to blend it so that the product looks
less like lipstick than your natural lips. "I'm going to take a brush and
smooth those edges to make it look smudged," says Hughes. "The only
way to go crazy with this look is to gradually build up the product and sweep
the edges with a brush or finger." Heed Hughes's advice: It's a lot easier
to put on more color than take it off if things look too saturated.
Step three: enhance shine with a lip top coat

Remember, superfluous gloss is the key to this style, so
you'll definitely want to use a quality lip gloss or lip top coat for this
step. Next, Hughes dabs some Maybelline Lip Studio Clear Vinyl Shine Shot Lip
Top Coat directly onto a clean brush. “I will use a simple glitter and top it
up to give it more shine. It's really about taking it on an editorial level,
”says Hughes. You can use a clear gloss like Hughes, or a gloss the same shade
as your lipstick from the first step.
Hughes says that the benefit of using a fluffy brush to
apply gloss is that it allows you to put it on your lips without rubbing it too
hard.
Step four: apply more pigment

Finally, Hughes applied more Revlon Super Lustrous Glass
Shine Lipstick in Fuschia Gleam to his lips, patting it to add more
concentrated pigment. She says the resulting look should remind you of a
palette. If you like your glass lips to be brighter, you can add more gloss on
top. It all depends on your personal preferences. And there you go!
