DIY METALLIC STORY

TUTORIAL + PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY NADINE, GRAPHIC DESIGN BY EUNICE CHUN

This isn’t a sit-down-let’s-DIY-today kind of project. This is a little lip sitch that I like to do all of the time when I want to take my nude lip a little more uptown. But let me warn you, it’s addictive. Here’s how:

TOOLS:

• Your Favorite Pinky Nude or Peachy Nude — I used Blush Nude ($$$) but also love this Soho Nude ($).
• A Champagne Shadow — I obviously used the champagne shade from this favorite palette (now on sale!) but also love this Champagne shadow ($).
• Your Favorite Sheer Nude Gloss — I always use this sheer gloss ($$).

That’s it! I think the gloss adds a little je ne sais quoi but you could leave it matte. Just be careful to lightly apply the pressure with the wand so it rolls over the champagne shadow but doesn’t move it.
