‘GYM LIPS’ IS HERE TO STAY AND HERE’S EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT IT

What Is the ‘Gym Lips’ Trend?

Ever since I can recall, we have been collectively chasing ‘big cushiony lips’. However, enhancing one’s lips to make them look fuller and luscious mostly depended on injectables and temporary fillers that stirred many conversations (the good, the bad and the ugly, tbh). However, the latest whirlwind of keeping it natural or ‘caszh’ birthed a new frenzy that has become a colossal hit— Gym Lips. Coined by the US-based MUA, Kelli Anne, this trend basically involves subtly overlining your lips with a hued liner which is closest to the actual colouring of your lips. Top this off with a hydrating lip oil and voila, this little manoeuvre will make your lips look naturally plump and juicy. Speaking of the terminology, Gym Lips is attributed to it, seeing how you can use this elusive trick for the ideal pucker even at the gym (ahem, or in my case, a trip to the store to replenish snacks) and get away with it! Ahead is my experience with the trend.

“How hard could it possibly be?” I asked myself one sunny afternoon. It was at a midweek editorial jam session at work when my team suggested I give this trend a try. In all honesty, it took me more than a couple of tries to hit the bull’s eye, but I loved every bit of the process. As a beauty editor who is rather lucky to own a repository of lip liners, I was amazed to discover that none of them even came close to my natural lip colour. And so, after meticulously surveying the slew of products available in the market, I narrowed it down to three beautiful shades. Braced with the liner, I started to overline my lips with a newfound enthusiasm and failed bitterly. The lining looked very prominent and almost overdone, to my dismay. Keeping at it for a while, I concluded that maintaining a steady and delicate hand is of paramount importance for the perfect organic tracing of sorts. I followed this with a twinge of my favourite lip plumper to complete the look.

If you’re looking to jump on the bandwagon too, I’ve listed a few good offerings that will help you achieve this viral trend! Keep scrolling to shop.

How to Make Your Lips Look Bigger: 7 Makeup Tips

  1.   Add a bit of shine .  Glossy products attract light and attention to your lips, making even nude lips look fuller and hydrated. Dab a small amount of highlighter, shimmer, or high-shine clear  lip gloss  to the middle of your lips. Brush a small amount of  highlighter  or pearlescent eye shadow onto your cupid’s bow for extra effect. 2.   Consider lip plumper .  Lip plumpers use collagen peptides or natural, mild irritants like peppermint, cinnamon, or cayenne to react with your lip skin, increase blood flow, and cause your lips to swell slightly. While plumping glosses can make your lips look bigger, use these products with caution if you have sensitive,  dry skin  or allergies. 3 .   Exfoliate dead skin .  Remove the dry, flaky dead skin cells on your lips for a fuller-looking pout. Use a soft toothbrush or  DIY lip scrub  to exfoliate lips. Avoid exfoliating more than once a week since too much exfoliat...

How to Get Your Dream Eyebrows in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Assess Your   Shape Stick to the natural shape of your eyebrows. Using your tweezers as a guide, hold them up to your eyebrows to measure where to begin. “The top bridge of your nose, you align it with your tweezer,” Vucetaj says. “It's not [at the widest part of your nose]. A lot of people think it's there, but it's the top bridge." For the tops of your brows, Vucetag recommends holding the tweezer and angling it the same direction up to the peak. The easiest way to find your arch? Take one finger and lightly pull up. “With the arches, you just lift slightly the arch,” Vucetaj says. “It can help you figure out how much or how little of an arch you want. If you want higher, you know to do that.”     The easiest way to find your arch?
