Beauty
For that post-makeout effect.
When it comes to lip trends, it can seem like there are only two options.
Youve got the glossy, glazed look, and youve got matte.
Now, theres a not-so-secret third option: the bitten lip trend.
Makeup has gotten messier.
Coquette has gone chaotic.
And just-kissed lips fresh out of a rom-com are beautys answer to theundone beauty movement.
As summer comes around, beauty girlies arent just embracing messy theyre embracing natural color, too.
You know, the kind you get after making out.
The Bitten Lips Look Is Everywhere
The undone beauty trend is all about embracing small imperfections.
The trend gives your pout some color while still looking natural.
Think effortless, feminine, and dreamy.
Others are more uniform, consisting of just deep colors and a natural pout.
No wonder its so ubiquitous.
The subtle, bitten lip trend was seen all over New York Fashion Week, says Guevara.
Its a blend of the French concept of bouche mordue (just-bitten lips) and indie-sleaze-inspired undone beauty.
The result is ethereal, doll-like beauty with an unpolished edge.
To achieve the look, Guevara recommends using a lip mask beforehand for the smoothest system.
