Metallic lipsticks are one of the biggest trends of the moment, and it's not hard to tell why -- after all, what objection could one possibly have to the concept of gilded lips? They're glamorous, ultra-modern, and completely and satisfyingly shiny. When you think about it, it's kind of like special effects for your most alluring feature -- so you can bet it's a surefire way to amp up any look.

Be it a peachy nude or an eye-catching red, some added metallic shine never hurt any shade -- quite the opposite, in fact. The trend runs the gamut from sparkly glosses imbued with a touch of golden glitter, to full on high-coverage formulas in glorious shades of forest green -- and each shade is more gorgeous than the last. So, if you're looking to get in on this fun new trend, read on for 15 different ways to rock metallic lips.
