Before you apply lipstick colours, first make sure your lips are primed and hydrated. A sugar scrub for lips is a must if your lips are prone to flakiness: simply massage on gently and let the sugar crystals exfoliate rough skin. A lip oil serum or a night lip treatment will also make lip care easier.
Once you’ve primed your lips, apply your matte lipstick or long-lasting lipstick either directly from the tube, or with a makeup brush. A lip pencil can be applied around the outside of your lips to make it easier to apply your liquid lip. For a high shine look, finish with a nourishing lip gloss.
Benefits of lip balm?
A great quality lip balm is an essential item if you have sensitive skin. A lip oil serum can also be used if your lips are particularly prone to dryness. Lip care products will keep your skin’s moisture levels high so you can always enjoy smooth lips. Find out how to take the best care of your lips with our lip spa guide.
How to choose lipstick colour?
It’s easy to choose a lipstick colour to perfectly suit your complexion. As a general rule, those with a fair complexion look best with cooler tones of pink, red or purple, while those with deeper and warmer complexions are suited to warmer shades of red, orange and ochre.
There are so many ways you can mix up your lip look: from sultry and sassy to supple and subtle, we’ve got all the lip accessories you need to make an unforgettable impression. For boldly defined lips, a liquid lipstick will give you vibrant colour and expert precision. Or if you want your lips to look juicy and plump, a lip volumiser will give you the volume you’ve been craving. And of course, no makeup kit would be complete without a red hot matte lipstick, for those occasions when you want your lips to be the star of the show.
