10 Lip Looks That Will Make Your Makeup Look Stand Out

Everyone says that eyes are the windows to your soul but what about lips? They’re windows to…speaking your mind and kissing and eating fries! Okay, so mouths might not be windows but they’re just as important, if not more so than eyes. Quite frankly, makeup looks that play up the eye and make the lip understated are so overdone!

If you want to do something different, make the lip the centerpiece of your makeup and keep the eyes neutral. Here are 10 lip looks that will make your makeup look stand out!

1. Ombre Lips

Ombre lip looks are perfect if you like to keep your lips looking somewhat natural. This look requires various different lip shades so that means that it’s completely customizable and unique. With how many lip shades exist, you’ll never have to do the same ombre lip twice!

2. Black lipstick

All my goth babes, put your hands up! This vampy lip looks great on all skin tones! Black is not a typical lip clot but it’s gaining popularity among the beauty community. Put on black lipstick and you’ll feel like you can take over the world!

3. Navy Lipstick

For those of you who don’t feel ready to jump to black lipstick, navy lip looks can be just as stark but without committing to an extremely dark lip color. Navy lips can also be great if you don’t particularly like the way black looks on you. It’s a good in-between color that’s still dark for contrast but not black.

4. Lip Liner

So you say you’re into ’90s fashion? Why don’t you try 90s makeup trends to complete your look? In the ’90s, one of the most popular lip looks was dark lip liner and a nude lip. This trend is coming back ladies and gentlemen! We’re always looking forward to ways we can twin with Naomi.

5. Orange Lipstick

When you think of lip looks, you think of reds and pinks and maybe even purples. One color that doesn’t immediately cross your mind is orange. Orange lipstick is so underrated! The color is warm and light but not too unnatural. Even drug stores carry it so you can try it out without committing to a big price. 

6. Gradient Lip

Gradient lip looks are sweeping the nation after becoming extremely popular in Korea! It’s a youthful and fresh look that makes it seem like you’ve just finished a lollipop. If you want to switch up your serious makeup looks for something more playful, try this. It’s the complete opposite of number four.

7. Metallic Lipstick

Metallic lip looks are like the grown-up version of glitter lip looks. The shine is spread evenly and catches the light more than glitter. Metallic lipstick is a good option for people who want to shine but don’t like messy glitter or sticky lip gloss. 

8. Beauty Mark

So this lip look isn’t technically on the lip but it is around it! It can still make your makeup stand out so we had to add it to the lip looks list. Adding a beauty mark to your upper lip makes a big statement. You’ll find that it entirely changes your look and it’s so easy! Just add a dot of your contour shade and you’re done!

9. Rhinestones

Most people wouldn’t wear rhinestones on their lips but that’s what will make your lip looks stand out! It’s not the most practical look but it’s definitely artistic. Get some rhinestones and play around with placement. You can cover your lips or place one in the middle of each lip like a piercing. There’s no right or wrong way to do it.

 

10. Clear Lip Gloss

This is the undefeated champion right here! While you might think that you have to go over the top to make your makeup look stand out, you don’t! Clear lip gloss (when done well) gives your lips a plump, juicy, wet look that cannot be rivaled. Clear lip looks are natural, easy, and really hard to mess up. A clear lip gloss look is so sexy!
