Most of us follow quite simple beauty routines when it comes to our lips: swipe on a little colour, sometimes line the edges, or just apply gloss. The majority of us also have a tendency to cling to safe colour palettes, such as a basic selection of pinks and reds. But when it comes to lip art, sorry girl – no rules apply.
In fact, the more extravagant, the better. We’re not talking basic red and pink. We’re talking rhinestone details, abstract designs, and all things glitter. Since it’s Lipstick Day, why not ditch the regular and go for some over the top lip art that’ll draw all the attention to your puckers? Not sure where to start? We’ve got a list!
Cityscape
For decades, the iconic skyline of New York City has served as an inspiration for artists like this one. But if cities aren’t your thing, check out the Aurora Borealis.
Art Deco
This deco-inspired pattern’s strong lines and vibrant colours would not be out of place in the Roaring ’20s!
Intergalactic
We think that this lip design is just fantastic! Check out the adorable matching manicure, too?
Cherry Blossom
These elegant cherry blossom waves evoke a Spring day with a light breeze…
Fresh Fruit
These lips look edible. Guess someone’s ready to be eaten!
Silhouette
Skip colour entirely in favour of stark black silhouettes on a bare base for a daring, monochromatic aesthetic. It’s simple, but definitely sophisticated.
Stained Glass
We adore this design because of its vibrant, rich hues, which remind us of light shining through a stained-glass window.
Abstract
This may have been influenced by the falling leaves of autumn…
Wheel Of Colour
With this gorgeous, rainbow-hued pattern, make sure your lipstick is as vibrant as your perspective! Pride Month isn’t over, after all!
Kintsugi
We think kintsugi, which is a Japanese technique for patching up broken pottery with gold, is just as beautiful here as it is on ceramics. Check out the different hues!
Candy Coated
Who can resist these sweet lips? Totally lick-able, definitely kissable!
Roses
With floral decals, you won’t need pink lipstick to create rose-coloured lips. It’s simply magical!
Elements
Earth, water, air and fire. Which one’s your element?
Graffiti
More like sushi graffiti. Check out the colour deets and how perfectly they sit without smudging.
The Giving Tree
We wish this stunning, sunset-inspired lewk, which is embellished with a palm tree fit for a postcard, would never have to set. Also, check out the lovely ombre effect.
All Black Everything
You can never go wrong with black on black, not even with lip art. This fierce, monochromatic lewk is given perspective with a glittering sheen and black studs.
The Royal Treatment
Art fit for a queen. We really love the bold red lipstick, topped with a gold crown.
BDSM
Wanna add edgy sexiness to your lips?
Ice Queen
‘The cold never bothered me anyway’. You heard that right. We adore how this lip mimics the effect of falling snow, while being ferocious and frosty!
Disney Vibes
Of course, there’s some Disney in every girl! Check out these amazing Disney lips that are just mind-blowing!
Metallic
To pull off this lewk, all you need is some nail foil – and affix it using eyelash glue.
Forest
If you’re more of a Spring girl, this is for you. Look at all those butterflies!
Valentine’s
Looking to impress your love? Give the Valentine lip art a try!
