In the world of beauty, matte makeup is being seen less and less. Matte lips have basically gone extinct, nobody wants to have a matte finish all over their face anymore, and in rare instances, people don't even want to have matte eye looks.
There are so many gorgeous alternatives to a matte makeup look. Gloss and shine have made quite the comeback in the beauty world.
Lip Gloss:
Lip gloss is a must have lip product! Because sticking to the classic clear gloss can be boring, make your lips shine with a colored gloss like the ones from Colourpop. With one swipe, gloss can take a makeup look from drab to fab!
Dewy Foundation:
Matte finishes just don't give your face as much dimension as a dewy finish would. Dewy finishes look good on everyone, including all of you oily/combo skinned beauties! A drugstore foundation that I swear by is the L'Oréal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation.
Highlight:
A gorgeous, shimmering highlight is the perfect way to show off your amazing cheekbones. Swipe a bit on with a fan brush or use a cream and apply with your fingers for the ultimate glow.
Blotted Lips
This was definitely a look made popular by runway beauty. Nonetheless, it is beautiful! Instead of wearing a whole matte lip, you would blot the lipstick to make it appear worn and faded.
Glossy Lids:
Although this isn't a widely used makeup technique, it's still as gorgeous as ever. It just gives anyone who wears it such an ethereal look.
