Gym Lips: Why You Should Try This Newest Makeup Trend
Even though the name might confuse you, Gym Lips is not how your lips look after a sweaty session at the gym. Gym Lips is the newest makeup trend, created by renowned makeup artist Kelli Anne Sewell. The name refers to the simple lip look she loves to use at the gym.
This makeup technique is easy to follow and terrific to wear every occasion. The concept behind this trend is to make the lips look nourish, lush, plum, and natural. Gym lips are your go-to lip look whenever you want to look flawless but don't want to wear too much colour.
Here is everything you must know if you want to try this makeup trend right now.
What are Gym Lips?
Gym lips are an easy-to-follow makeup trend with no swelling, sticking, or plumping. TikTok influencer and makeup artist Kelli Anne shows that it's possible to look flawless by emphasizing your natural lip colour.
The key is to choose a lipstick or lip liner that wonderfully matches your lip skin. Then, carefully fill in your lips and finally apply a lip gloss or lip treatment to the middle of your lips for a dash of moisture.
Yes, this technique is so prevalent that you can see many Korean celebrities, like Jeongyeon from Twice, Joy from Red Velvet, and Kim So Hyun, perfectly portraying the healthy look.
