TikTokers have an appetite for food– and beverage-inspired beauty trends these days. Latte makeup spilled all over TikTok, Hailey Bieber made strawberry girl summer a thing, and things just got a little bit sweeter (and shinier) with honey lips taking over screens and mouths everywhere. The trend, coined by beauty creator @evalarosaxo, is inspired by the golden color of the condiment — without any of its stickiness.
This beauty trend is all about emphasizing your lips with shimmery gold and a juicy lip gloss that adds warmth to any makeup look. This viral trend is a smashing hit with 3.2 million views on the hashtag #honeylips. Here is your chance to become the golden goddess you’ve been dreaming of, so we knew we had to round up all the details to recreate the honey lips look.
The first step to achieving these shiny, luscious smooth lips is exfoliation. Buff away flakes and dryness with a lip scrub: Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Kiss’r Lip-Loving Scrubstick is nourishing with hydrating apricot seed and beeswax while gently scrubbing dead skin. Doing so will ensure your lips are smooth and buffed, creating the perfect base to layer on the necessary products to achieve the ideal golden pout. From there, rehydrate those lips with soothing Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil and HUDA BEAUTY Silk Balm Honey Kiss Lip Balm (Your scrub doesn’t have to be honey-based, but we love a theme.)
Once your lips are soft and supple, it’s time to add some shine. Eva begins the honey lip process by using her finger to dab a glittery yellow-gold eyeshadow. The shade is of utmost importance for this look, you want a hue that is reminiscent of honey. Fenty Beauty’s Killawat Highlighter in Trophy Wife is another golden alternative. She applies this shade to the cupid’s bow area and the middle part of her lower lip. The makeup pros recommend defining your lips with a lip liner in a neutral pink or brown shade that matches your natural lip color. Opt for a slightly darker shade if you want more definition. Finally, and most importantly, comes the dipped-in-honey-like finish. A high-shine gloss or lip oil will do the trick to complete those juicy, honey lips.
