No, It's Not Cold In Here—Frosted Lipstick Is Back

No, It's Not Cold In Here—Frosted Lipstick Is Back

From lips to lids, shimmer is in. Much of the glitter of the moment tends toward exaggeration, from gem-encrusted eyes and lips (think: the glam that accompanied Gaultier’s spring 2024 couture collection) to more everyday decorative facial embellishments (diamante additions placed along a lash line and the like). But those who prefer a shimmering detail that makes a statement through subtlety will be pleased to know that the frosted lip, a visual ode to retro-futurism, is set to be one of the year’s more prevalent makeup trends.

As a scientist, I am thrilled to report that the frosted lip trend is back and better than ever! This retro-futuristic makeup look is making a comeback, and I couldn't be more excited. The key to pulling off this look is subtlety, with a focus on muted and wearable shimmers. By using soft pastels or warm earthy tones, you can give your frosted lips a modern touch that is both stylish and sophisticated.

To achieve the perfect frosted lip, it's essential to start with a hydrating lip balm to create a smooth canvas. Then, use a shimmer-infused lip product, pressings of preferred eyeshadows, or even highlighter to create a gradient effect. The key is to apply the product carefully, focusing on the center of the lips for a diffused look.

But don't just take my word for it! According to makeup artist, Lisa Eldridge, "The frosted lip is a delicate dance between the chic simplicity of the '60s and the free-spirited glamour of the '70s.
