Finding The Right Lipstick For You

HAPPY NATIONAL LIPSTICK DAY

Lipstick is usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think about makeup. Adding colour to the lips can make the biggest difference to the features of your face. However, a badly chosen shade of lipstick can easily destroy your whole look as well. That's why it's important to choose a colour and texture that best suits you.

Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Lip Fixation Lip Stain

- Best for long wear and longevity

Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Lip Fixation Lip Stain

A best seller for good reason and you instantly understand why once you’ve tried them for yourself. The creamy liquid formula applies to the lips with ease and then dries down to a gorgeous matte finish to help it last all day long. Plus, matte lipstick can't cling on to dry areas of the lips if they aren’t there. So, exfoliate your lips before applying with Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish and when you want an extra moisturise boost we love HydroPeptide LipLock Lip Mask.

 

Delilah Colour Intense Cream Lipstick

- Best for vibrant intensity and a luxurious feel

Complete the look with Delilah Lip Liner for the ultimate powerful lip.

If you despise having to top up your lipstick throughout the day then maybe opt for a lip stain instead which leaves a soft tint on the lips. Available in 3 shades – peach, pink and red – there is one for absolutely everyone. Benefit from softer and smoother lips too.

 

Eminence Organic Cinnamon Kiss Lip Plumper

- Best for creating fuller lips

Temporarily fake naturally plumper lips with this all-natural, organic lip balm, instantly. The key ingredient Cinnamon creates a warm, tingly sensation once applied to encourage blood to the surface and increase circulation which in turn, increases lip volume. You could always finish with your favourite lipstick on top of your new lips as well!

 

Hydropeptide Perfecting Lip Gloss
