BEAUTY: TREND ALERT! THE CRYSTAL LIPS TREND LADIES ARE OBSESSING OVER ON INSTAGRAM!

When it comes to mesmerising lip art , there's nothing better than scrolling through your Instagram feed staring at the intricate drawings or glittery textures. But it seems a new type of design is taking social media by storm... The crystal lips.

Thanks to Talented makeup artist Johannah Adams, Instagram’s newest beauty trend is crystalizing your lips! It’s crazy how realistic they look and we think should be considered art. Adams creates her gemlike lips using heavy glitter, a color base, and a thick, clear gloss. But just because the products are simple doesn’t mean the process is. Like all good art, Adams’s looks take time; hers take about an hour to complete.

For each intricate lip look, Adam firsts paints the lips with metallic gold liner, then encrusts them with heavy glitter to mimic the texture of precious rocks like amethysts, pyrites, and druzy quartz. To seal everything in, she coats the lips with a slick of thick clear gloss.

As you can imagine, it's a tedious process, taking Adams at least an hour to create each custom, opalescent pout. But if Instagram is any indication, that's not stopping other MUAs from taking on the challenge—for better or for worse.

The technique has become such a phenomenon that Adams has already launched a collaboration with trippy, Colorado-based crystal purveyor. And damn , it's impressive.
