High-shine lips just got a head-turning upgrade, courtesy of Yara Shahidi. This morning s Instagram share found the actress s trademark ringlets pinned away from her face, leaving the focus on an unexpected etching of metallic lip liner. Rather than rimming her glossy pout in a traditionally warm hue of nude or brown, Shahidi reached for a soft glimmer of silver, which she streaked along the upper curve of her lip, before etching a mirror image along the opposite side .
The detail had a trompe l oeil quality, and while Shahidi s take erred on the side of conceptual, it was grounded in reality—resembling the flattering effects of a hint of highlighter along the cupid s bow and winking at the pretty light-catching benefits of her delicate silver hoops, which flashed from beneath a guard of onyx ringlets. Bare skin and minimal makeup—save for sky-reaching lashes—gave the look an otherworldly quality. Whether you favor silver, gold, or a burnished copper, this lip trick is one worth attempting.
