Lip strobing is a thing and it’s about to hit the mainstream
'Strobing' has become a part of the accepted beauty lexicon - the term now seems as ubiquitous as 'bronzing' - however, there's one context in which you might not yet have heard it used... lip strobing? Yep, it's a thing (and it's about to hit the big time). The brainchild of none other than industry icon Huda Kattan (who else!?), her game-changing lip lacquers are about to spark a shift in our collective attitude to make up. Glossy without being 'gloss', these clever top coats elevate your go-to lip colour to dizzying new heights of gorgeousness...
With iridescent shimmers, duo-chrome pigments and glistening flecks of glitter, these non-sticky lip finishes will optically augment your pout - visually plumping (no fillers needed!) to leave your lips perfectly pillow-y. Completely non-sticky (honest!), Huda's kaleidoscope of {Lip Strobes} come in sheer and pigment-rich shades, to drench your lips with colour or lend matte lip shades a multi-faceted, high-shine look.
Scattering the light to grant a multi-tonal lustre, choose from deep, berry shades such as 'Moody' and 'Fearless', or something with a hint-of-tint like 'Angelic' or 'Ritzy' worn alone, or on top of your favourite {Liquid Matte} to add an element of intrigue. Fabulously transformative, a quick slick will lend depth to 'ordinary' colours - they're like the sequins of your wardrobe, adding necessary 'dazzle' for a disco-ready vibe.
Like liquid light, the doe-foot applicator makes for effortless, precision application - concentrate the lacquer on the centre of your lower lip for instant (but believable) amplification - and don't feel that these colours have to be confined to lips. With wet-look make up having a 'moment', these gloss-not-glosses can be applied directly to the eyelids and then blurred with fingers for a sexy sheen of shiny shimmer. They're the easiest way to add an editorial edge to your everyday 'face'...
