Don't be afraid
Magazine writer Alex Ronan was up for the challenge of silver lipstick and purchased one for $1.49, thinking it would be a one-and-done situation. In the end, she liked it so much that she wears the color on the regular now. As the old saying goes, you never know until you try it.
on a budget
Striking metallic lipstick is actually quite affordable. Several popular drugstore brands make stunning versions of silver; Maybelline has a silver metallic lip color priced at $7.50, and COVERGIRL Lipstick Metallic is a light, soft-looking silver that’s up for $4.50 on Amazon.
Start off slowly
If only you want to dip a toe into the silver pool, try a lip liner. Actress Yara Sayeh Shahidi of "Black-ish" and "Grown-ish" had fun with silver lip liner, outlining opposing sides of her top and bottom lips and filling the rest of her lips in with a natural, shimmery neutral shade.
great fall look
Shiny metallic lipstick can go so well with the deep oranges, purples, browns, and grays of the autumn season; smoky eyes and darker eyeshadows also look ideal with a light silver lip. You can also match many accessories to your makeup, such as gloves, a hat, or silver earrings.
Premiere at a party
A party is a great time to grab your most daring silver lipstick and go all out. "Metallic lips are a focus feature, so emphasizing the lips attracts light," says makeup artist Ashlee Glazer. He says to "exfoliate and hydrate the lips first, [...] then apply the color generously all over."
