Even though it’s not an easy or practical look to maintain, it’s fairly easy to create.
Before you start the application process it’s essential to nourish your lips by applying a moisturising lip balm.
Using a liquid lipstick is your best option for a base before applying the glitter. If you’re going for gold or silver opt for a nude base. If you’re going to play around with colour then match your lipstick colour as close to the glitter colour you’ll be using.
