With the new year, comes a fresh start and a chance to throw caution to the wind and take a chance on something new. This year I am starting with beauty. While I'm totally not afraid of brights and bold red matte lip is my go-to, there is one lip trend that sends a shiver up my spine: the metallic shimmer lip. Just the name conjures up images in my head of 90's girl bands and frosted candy scented lip glosses. Ick. 

However, Dior made that 90's Spice Girls look totally chic and next level when they put it on the catwalk for the metallic lip on models for their most recent couture show. 


  
Makeup artist Pat McGrath created the look that matched illuminated skin and bright eyes without being too flashy and cheesy. The look was modern and high fashion. The models look so good I want to steal this look ASAP but I'm also dubious of the wearability of this one. 

It's super cool but should it be reserved for runways? Do you think this is passable on the street? At work, parties, nights out? Let me know if you think I can pull of the metallic lip and if you'd test it out for yourself. 

Pro Tip: You can DIY the metallic lip by adding a glittery gloss on top of a lipstick then setting it with a light reflecting pigment. Here are a few products to try out if you're feeling brave:
