Metallic lipstick will be everywhere this summer, including on your smackers. Here is a simple way to re-create the trend at home without spending a penny.
To create your own metallic lipstick you will need the following:
- Your favourite lipstick
- A shimmer eyeshadow
To recreate the lip MAC Cosmetics posted (SO cool), choose a matte nude lipstick. MAC used their Retro Matte Liquid lip colour in Lady Be Good with Amber Lights eyeshadow on top but you can use any shimmery eyeshadow shade. The Catrice Copper Collection eyeshadow palette would be perfect for creating this effect.

If you want your pout to look this perfect, carefully apply your lipstick; matte colours don't allow for mistakes because they are strong and opaque. Line your lips first with a pencil (MAC used Oak). Next, apply your lipstick. Now for the fun part - the metallic finish. Use a fluffy eyeshadow brush, dip it in your eyeshadow and apply it to the centre of your lips. Just apply it to the fullest part of your lips or you can cover the whole lip if you prefer.
Would you wear this trend or is it a little too futuristic for your tastes?
