Remaking Ariana grandes lipgloss

Hey everyone! So, my previous attempt at recreating Ariana Grande's super viral blue lip gloss was... well, an experience! As you saw, the non-color changing version came out pretty good, but that elusive color-changing one? That was a whole different story. I really thought adding more blue and white pigment would do the trick, but it just didn't want to cooperate. It's truly humbling when you realize how much precision goes into these viral products! This specific lip gloss is currently going viral because it taps into that magical, transformative beauty trend, and let's be honest, anything associated with Ariana Grande instantly becomes a must-have. This whole journey got me thinking – what is it about Ariana's lip looks that makes them so iconic? It’s not just the gloss, is it? Her signature overlined, plump lips have been a trendsetter for years. If you're like me and obsessed with getting that full, defined 'Ariana Grande lips' look, it starts with more than just the gloss itself. Many tutorials for "overline lips" suggest using a lip liner slightly darker than your natural lip color or lipstick, tracing just outside your natural lip line, especially on the cupid's bow and the center of the bottom lip. This technique creates an illusion of fuller lips. Then, blend inwards before applying your chosen lipstick or a beautiful, high-shine gloss, just like the blue one we're trying to *recreate*. It's all about creating that perfect canvas! Speaking of recreating – for those of you who also want to try making your own blue colour lip gloss, don't make my mistakes! I learned the hard way that precise measurements for pigment are absolutely crucial, especially when you're aiming for a complex effect like *color changing*. Next time, I'm definitely using a syringe for adding those tiny drops of pigment to ensure I get the exact shade and the right amount for the color-changing effect. It’s all about patience and small increments; a little goes a long way. If you're mixing a *DIY lip gloss*, remember that different pigments can react differently with your gloss base. Always start with a very small amount and thoroughly mix before adding more. Also, consider the type of base you're using – some bases are thicker than others, which can affect how the pigment disperses and how the final gloss applies. And for those wondering "what lip gloss does Ariana Grande use" or what products can give you a similar vibe without the DIY hassle? While she's been seen wearing various brands, the general consensus is that she loves a high-shine, often slightly tinted or clear gloss that makes her lips look incredibly juicy. To get that viral look, especially with a unique shade like the blue one that transforms, sometimes a pre-made product is just easier. Look for iridescent blue glosses or clear glosses that have a plumping effect. There are some fantastic brands out there offering color-changing lip oils or glosses that react to your body's pH to create a unique pink, which is a similar concept to what I was aiming for with the blue! My current obsession is finding a ready-to-wear gloss that delivers that subtle, ethereal blue shimmer without looking overpowering. My main takeaway from this recreate attempt is that making custom lip gloss is a true art! Especially when you're aiming for something as specific as a color-changing formula. Despite the initial setback, I'm not giving up on my dream of making the ultimate *Ariana Grande inspired lip gloss*. Should I try again for that perfect blue transformer gloss? Absolutely!
