01. Dainty pearl moment

Apply your favourite nude shade of lipstick like the Lakmé Absolute Precision Lip Paint in Alluring Nude. Take the pearl bead stickers and outline your lips with them. If you want to take it up a notch, take mini rhinestones or rhinestone stickers and stick them in a wide diamond shape. Perfect online shopping look *ahem, we extra like that!*
02. The glossy aesthetic

Dab a little compact on the lips to mattify them, and then stick your favourite mini graphic stickers on your lips. Apply a clear thick gloss—go for a non-sticky/greasy one to prevent your hair or anything sticking on to it and spoiling your look!
03. LBD- Lips, Black and Diamonds!

Okay, not real diamonds, but this look just oozes luxury and valiance. Apply a black lipstick, overline your cupid’s bow with rhinestones, and make a line between your lower lip to get a lip piercing feel. Ugh! I want to try this out right now with a big black tulle dress and run down an abandoned castle *things we dream of while sitting at home working on the laptop, phew!* Also, if you feel that black is a little too bold for you, you can go for other dark shades such as the Lakmé Absolute Matte Melt Mini in Wine Voyage.
04. Blue-tiful art

For recreating this look, you’ll need two shades of blue lipstick—a midnight blue shade and a cobalt/cerulean blue. Start by overlining with the darker shade and then apply the lighter one in between. Blend the two to create an ombre look. Once done with the base, take different sized rhinestone stickers and place them on your upper lip going from big to small as you go downwards! This look screams Fantasy villain, and we all love a good-looking and bold antagonist!
05. Red Flagged beauty

For all the statement red lovers, this one's for you. Keeping the classics intact, first, go for the Lakmé Absolute Precision Lip Paint - Statement Red and then pick small red stud stickers/red stone stickers and place them without a gap on your upper lip. You’re done! Go waltz and live your extra life in these lips like, now!

As a skincare and makeup hoarder who watched The Devil Wears Prada a hundred times, this seems like the perfect place to be! A writer with a degree in fashion, I love everything beauty, fashion, art, and literature. When I’m not working, you will find me talking about energy cleansing, binge reading books and binge watching Kdramas while trying to select the right shade of lipstick to go grocery shopping!
