With glowing skin being huge this year you can bet your bottom dollar that highlighting isn’t going anywhere, especially now that there’s a new technique on the block – chroming.
Created by dominic_mua, Senior Artist at MAC Cosmetics UK, chroming involves taking a lipstick and applying it to the areas of your face where you’d usually highlight, such as your upper cheekbones and brow bones. Dominic used MAC X Mariah Carey ‘All I Want’, which is a champagne shimmer shade, and as you can see the look is pretty darn gorgeous, with a whole lot of glow.
Of course when a MAC Master says something’s hot, the makeup lovers of the world listen, and people have been taking their most highlight-y lipsticks and slicking them on their skin.
How gorgeous is the chroming on beaner_keemer, and the fact the chroming application stuck around for half a day? Amazing!
minniefr rocks the look (and can we talk about that eyeshadow? So stunning!!)
This look from lucoh is divine, and shows how chroming can work on all skin tones. Love!
Perhaps what we’re loving most about this trend is that it shows us just how versatile lipstick can be. Not just for the lips – and the cheeks in a pinch, it’s got a good portion of your face covered!
So do tell… will you be digging out a lighter shimmery shade of lipstick from your collection to try this hot new trend? Will you shun chroming in favour of your current powders and creams? Or is the whole highlighting game not your bag of chips?

I don't highlight often and I don't really own any chrome or metallic lipsticks as I prefer matte.
