Metallic lips are the popular trend which took 2017 by storm. Discover the trend here and also a few celeb-inspired ideas on how to wear them!

Hey charming! The hottest trend of matte lipsticks is slowly falling into the lap of metallic lips. The time when we used to rush to YouTube to check out liquid matte lipstick swatches and reviews, has finally moved onto the shimmery, bold metallic lips this season. Some people use metallic and glossy lips interchangeably but metallic lips focus more on the bold, sparkling element for the lips. Keeping in line with the revival of yesteryear trends, these metallic lippies have time-traveled from the 90s.

Metallic lipsticks were the #5 trend in our list of top lipstick trends for 2017. While nudes and reds were seen on the Fall 2017 runways, metallic lips have been spotted as a must-try trend on the red carpet and top makeup brands Instagrams.
