There's no shortage of creative lip art on Instagram [1], but the latest trend we're spotting takes unexpected inspiration from a fancy delicacy: caviar.
Consider caviar lips to be an evolution of the glitter lips trend [2] we all loved last year. It also features a textured finish, but the look is made using caviar-like 3D embellishments such as tiny beads, pearls, or sequins (not actual caviar, thank goodness). We most recently spotted it on makeup artist Vlada Haggerty [3]'s page, but other makeup artists have been experimenting with similar 3D embellishments on lips since earlier this year. As for how the little "caviar" pieces stick on, makeup artist Greta Agazzi [4] shared that she's used both MAC Lipglass [5] and NYX Glitter Primer [6] as bases.
Is the lip trend practical to wear to work? Nope. Will you be able to eat a burger with tiny "caviar" beads on? Maybe not. But is this makeup a mesmerizing work of art? Absolutely. Get more caviar lips inspiration ahead.
