]]> Calling all the artistic boss babes, this next article is dedicated to you.  

Let’s be honest, from time to time we are all partial to a little temptation to step out of our comfort zones and try something new. If that resonates then we have the perfect bold look in mind for you, Lip art.  

Lip art is perfect if you’re seeking a new look or want to be experimental, performative, and bold with your makeup. Lip art is a fun and creative way to add a little pizzazz to a make-up look. It can range from drawings on your lips to diamonds and stickers, anything goes in the world of lip art.  

So, we challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and give some of these lip art looks a try, you never know, you might just impress yourself with your abilities. 

It’s Getting Hot in Here

This look is turning up the heat and causing a stir due to its bold and sassy aesthetic, just what we want here at Voir. If you are feeling feisty and know your way around a paintbrush, this first look will be perfect for you to try.  

Boasting a black lip with orange and red flames rising from the bottom lip this look is one to die for and will get the temperature rising when you rock it. This is an intermediate look so if you can manage this one then you shouldn’t have any problems with our other lip looks. This look is very arty and will require patience when creating it. 

We recommend maybe sketching out the flames on a piece of paper beforehand so you can get the hang of how your hand should move to sketch out the designs. Like anything, trial and error are the best way to learn, so don’t feel overwhelmed or anxious to give this look a go.  

One necessity that you will not be able to complete this look without is some thin makeup paintbrushes. These will be a lifesaver when it comes to the finer details of this look and help get the precision on point.  

We recommend using matte liquid lipsticks to create this look, their liquid formula will make them easy to apply and have a rich pigment with full coverage. Moreover, they will be easier to blend and provide a thicker layer than cream lipstick does. Liquid matte lipsticks are more artistic-friendly when it comes to completing complex designs such as this one. Mac, Nars and Huda Beauty all do some incredible liquid matte lipsticks that we feel would be perfect for this hot look.  

Love is in The Air   

Love is in the air with this next lip look that has melted our hearts and compelled us to give it a try. Styling a glossy fusion of pink and red that incorporates four different shades of pink alongside glitter and love heart stickers, this look is really one to turn heads.  

It was love at first sight when we saw this beauty and we know you guys will love it too. The trick with this look is to have a matte base with an ombre effect and build the lip look from that. You want to pick your four shades of pink and then layer them onto your lips from the darkest shade to the lightest.  

You can use a setting powder to help set the lips and stop them from smearing as well as a brush or beauty blender to create the soft ombre effect. Then add a glossy lip gloss with a sprinkle of glitter and sparkles to create a sparkly finish.  

A good hack to help you add the glitter in a simple and quick manner is to get your lip gloss stick and mix it in a pot of glitter. Then dunk your lip-gloss stick back into its tube and mix it with the contents of your lip gloss. This will allow your lip gloss to mix with the glitter in an unproblematic way and allow you to easily apply it onto your lips as you normally would.  

Now for the fiddly bit. When applying your hearts, it’s best to use very sticky lip gloss to do this as the tackier and sticker the lip gloss is, the better these hearts will stay in place. We believe that the cheaper the lip gloss the sticker it seems to be, so don’t be concerned with getting the most expensive lip gloss for this look – just make sure it is sticky and shiny! 

Love is Like a Butterfly

♬ Butterflyz (The Drumline Mix) – Alicia Keys

Love really is like a butterfly and this look proves it! These two abbreviations of the beautiful butterfly looks are totally mesmerising and have us in a chokehold. Whether your vibe is more pink or blue, this look is incredible and relatively easy to do so don’t panic if you are not yet confident with doodling art on your lips.  

@missjazminad

What would you call this lip? 🦋 #fyp #foryou #makeup #lipstick #lipart

♬ SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY – Remix / Slowed + Reverb – Amaarae

The influencer used matte liquid lipsticks here (notice a theme) and created an ombre glitter effect by blending two colours together. Then she went in the black lipstick, again in a matte liquid format and a thin make-up brush to draw on the lines that simulates the butterflies’ wings. You can draw these lines however you want so don’t put too much emphasis on copying the artist’s work exactly, be free with it and go where the brush takes you.  

She then adds white dots to add some depth and body to the lip art alongside glitter sprinkles and frosting to finish off the look.  

This look is utterly beautiful and perfect to try as one of your first attempts at lip art.  

Betty Boop X Lips 

This lip art transported us back into the early 2000 and made us think of the iconic Betty Boop, the cartoon character. This look has similar colours to which Betty was pictured and would fit in with the Betty Boop aesthetic perfectly.  

This look is a little more dynamic than our previous ones and will require you to practice it a few times before you get it right but once you do, it’ll be worth it.  

Styling a black base and pink cartoon love heart that take on different shapes and dimensions this look is perfect for a party or event setting.  Once again, the tick with this look is having matte liquid lipstick and some good setting powder to make sure the lips don’t smear or move while rocking them.  

Grab yourself a hot pink lipstick for this look! You can also use two different shades of pink lipstick to add some differentiation to the love hearts and make the look more stylish. Dior and Fenty do lovely liquid lipstick as well as Nars for an almost cherry-pink lipstick to complement the hot pink.  

 Wednesday Addams 

@missjazminad

what would you call this lip? 💿🖤💧 #fyp#foryou#makeup#lipstick

♬ Bloody Mary – Lady Gaga

We couldn’t not mention a Wednesday Addams inspired lip combo for our Wednesday fans out there, could we?  

This next look is very Wednesday Addams and is one of our easiest looks to do. This lip art includes a black matte base, some glittery gel that has bonded together and is stuck on top of the lips and some clear gloss.  

The bonded glittery add-on may be hard to create and may get antagonising for you if you are wearing this look throughout the day, so instead why not simply add a glittery coat on top of the black base? This could come in the form of a glittery gloss or even by using festival glitter and sticking it onto your lips to create a textured glitter look. 

Regardless of how you style this look, it looks fabulous! The base black lipstick needs to be super pigmented and matte, so we recommend either the Nars, Mac or NYX matte liquid lipsticks for this look.  

Feel free to experiment with this look and add to the design to really make it your own and unique.

Frostbite  

@missjazminad

What would you call this? 🥶 #fyp #makeup #liptutorial #lipart #lgbt #lipstick #oddlysatisfying

♬ Cut Me Loose – Edit – Jethro Heston & Max Marshall

Our final look is a cross between an icy mermaid and frostbite. Ouch! This glittery baby blue lip combo would look unreal when styled at a festival or music concert surrounded by bright lights and festival outfits.  

For this look, the first thing you need to do is prep your lips. This required you to apply a layer of nude lipstick first and then some shimmery turquoise lip gloss afterwards along the edges of your lips. Blend the two products together with a make-up brush but make sure to leave the middle of your lips bare. Then jump in with some glitter along the outer edges of your lips and voila, your icy lips are complete! 

These lips are stunning and super easy to do so if you’re a beginner and don’t want to jump straight into the deep end with these lip art looks this one is perfect for you to start off with.

Why is the word ‘single’ such a misunderstood word? Let me set the scene. You’re at a party and you find yourself stuck in the kitchen talking to a friend of a friend of a friend’s colleague. The two fail-safe questions that are a go-to in a situation like this inevitably pop up;

“So, what do you do?”

And

“Are you with anyone at the minute?”

Now, I don’t like to generalise but if your reply to the latter is ‘Yeah, I’ve been seeing this guy for nine months now”, I would bet my life savings (which probably wouldn’t even be enough buy a coat in Zara, don’t get excited) that their response to this would NOT be:

“Oh no, why what happened?”

Respond with “Nah, I’m single” on the other hand, and instantly poor little lonely you gets bombarded with:

“Aw dear, why?”

Or

“Don’t worry, you’ll find someone”

As if this unfortunate single circumstance couldn’t possibly be by choice, and you have been forced against your will by a cruel twist of fate to live a life of solitude and die alone. It doesn’t even cross their mind that there is a possibility that you might, just might be choosing to remain single.

You grit your teeth under that plastic smile you’re forcing your face into and say:

“Oh no, nothing has happened, I’m just not interested in being with anyone at the minute”

To which their reply is to stare at you blankly, so you justify your single-ness with:

“I’m just happy working on myself at the minute” (Whilst thinking to yourself, ‘lol, can you even work on perfection?!’)

As the fake justifications come pouring out, a memory trickles into your head of you prancing round your room in your undies to (in my humble opinion) one of the pussycat Doll’s greatest works of art; I don’t need a man. Trying to mimic the hip movements Ms Scherzinger does in the music video with the same vigour, but less sex appeal. Whilst belting out at the top of your lungs,

“I don’t need a man to make it happen I get off being free I don’t need a man to make me feel good I get off doing my thing I don’t need a ring around my finger To make me feel complete So, let me break it down I can get off when you ain’t around, OHHHHH”

This friend of a friend of a friend’s colleague has clearly never felt empowerment like this; so, you can only pity them and their ignorance.

Recently, however, this type of subtle single shaming is happening less and less. A change in the wind has made the S word that people were branded with should they choose not to spend their life partnered with someone as less of a temporary state of failure and more of a label to wear with pride.

We’ve got Lizzo putting ‘the s-i-i-ing in single’ while she ‘aint worried bout a ri-i-ing- on her finger and Emma Watson inventing the term ‘Self-partnered’ for people who are single and happy to be so, making being single the new in thing. So now, us people who have been loving ourselves, shaking our junk and singing to I don’t need a man and meaning it since 2006, can call ourselves the pioneers of this ‘single pride’ movement.

What being single does mean is that you can do what you want, when you want. You get to dictate every single aspect of your life, which is something that changes as you naturally want to please your partner. It’s not a bad thing, it just happens. Gradually, people are starting to realise that being single isn’t this dark pit of boring loneliness that people can’t wait to get out of. You haven’t failed in life if you haven’t made someone fall madly in love with you by the time your 25. Your life still has meaning if you haven’t moved in with someone and aren’t thinking about kids by the time you’re thirty.

Remember; who’s the one person in this world who knows you inside out and who has only your best intentions at heart. YOU.

Being happily single is the new trend, follow it.
