FOTD: Just-bitten lips
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:38
Learn how to create the illusion of lips that have been seductively bitten with inspiration from KYE SS15 show at Seoul Fashion Week.
When we were younger, we constantly had our hands busy picking out strawberries and cherries and biting the life out of them, only to result in cherry-stained lips that marked our greedy deed. Well, that very look has now become a key beauty trend across runways, most recently hitting Seoul Fashion Week’s Spring Summer shows.
By using soft glosses and lip stains, the classic flushed lips were seen at Soulpot Studio, KYE and Enzuvan, garnering gushes from beauty aficionados. Here’s how to re-create the look.
Start off by creating a clean matte base with Chanel’s Vitalumière. The light texture would also your skin’s natural glow to seep through. Thereafter, fill in your brows with Too Faced’s Bulletproof Brows and work on it till you achieve Cara Delevingue-esque brows. Next, this particular look requires a flushed face as well, so pat on cream blusher from the apples of your cheeks and move upwards towards the temples. Finish off by slightly dusting illuminising powder from Laura Mercier on the high points of your face – nose bridge, forehead and just on top of the blush.
Finally, the star of the look, your lips. Give your lips a base of concealer then deftly dab Bobbi Brown’s pot rogue to the inner section of your lips building up intensity as you wish.
There you go, that’s all it takes to create a natural-looking flushed face and lips – just enough to let imaginations run wild.
