These high shine lip lacquers and liquid eye shadows are glossier than a magazine centerfold, which is what we mean by vinyl makeup.
By vinyl makeup we mean a high gloss shine, even though vinyl (dimethicone) is also an ingredient sometimes used in beauty products because it acts as a conditioning agent.
Vinyl make up, or the wet look, can be worn on the lips and eyelids to complement a vinyl skirt or catsuit. Wear the vinyl liquid eyeliner and eyeshadow with the vinyl lip gloss to look soaking wet.
