Oil slick lips are now a thing and we are trippin’
For those mesmerised by the oil slick hair trend, this one’s for you. The beauty buffs of Instagram have taken the petrol-inspired look to the next level with oil slick lips and we’re already in love.
Of course, the only question on our slick-free lips is 'how the eff did they do that?', and it turns out it's not as hard as you might think.

If you're after the glossy look, start by mixing metallic blue, green, purple and grey lippies together on your pout until you get the perf shade before sealing the deal with a high-gloss finish.
Alternatively, if you're a bigger fan of the ombre sheen, apply either a metallic blue or grey lipstick to the inner third of your lips.

Next, use a combination of shimmery eyeshadows and blend out.

I may have been able to get away with it many years ago in High School at Newtown. Just blame the look on a performance if anyone asks ;-)

It is really cool, but I have to say I don't enjoy crazy colour lips...

Looks unique, reminds me of an oil/petrol stain on the ground, how it can be multi-coloured and shiny like this.
I couldn't wear this, but is different for sure!!!

If you have a job that needs creativity e.g. a hairdresser, I'm sure that those lips would be perfectly acceptable.

These look beautiful. Not a look I would wear but I am so impressed with the artistry of it.

Wow I love this but cannot imagine it is super wearable. Would be great for a costume party.

All these look so magical!! Definitely feeling the metallic looks - they would look amazing at some of the music festivals I go too.
