3D Crystal Lip Art Is the New Instagram Beauty Trend We’re Dying to Rock

2016 is officially the year of the surrealist mouth. So far we’ve seen pouts covered in everything from Post-Impressionist works of art to globs of pure liquid gold. Then, just when we thought that the lipstick-as-art phenomenon had reached its peak — because who could top Pat McGrath’s gorgeous Lust 004 lip kit — some visionary went and added crystals to the beauty universe’s ever-expanding mouth palette.

These geode-inspired creations are so gorgeous we’d gladly forgo eating, speaking and breathing in order to quite literally rock the trend. Though a crystal lip is admittedly pretty difficult to DIY, one could (theoretically) achieve the extreme, three-dimensional look by first lining your lips with metallic lipstick or lip gloss, filling in the center of your pout using a jewel-tone lipstick, and finally topping things off with hexagonal, gemstone-like flecks of glitter, according to New York-based professional makeup artist Johanna, pioneer of the breathtaking editorial look. Under the handle @beyou.byjoh, Johanna shares her gemstone-inspired creations with upwards of 14.6k followers. Across the pond, another geology buff, über-talented Australian makeup artist Genevieve Jauquet, is captivating the gazes of 23.8K followers (and counting) with her amethyst and pyrite-inspired lip art.

Scroll down to take in all the crystal-induced magic. May it bring good juju to your afternoon.
