Hey hot lips!
If you’re looking for instant glam this summer then you better pucker up. It’s definitely the season to go for a bold lip colour that’ll get you noticed. Yes, we’re talking about those oh-so-creamy corals, vibrant violets, florescent fuchsias, statement-making reds and chic nudes.
But before you rush out to buy a brand new lippy, read these ground rules first.
Love a red? Just remember that precision is key. Apply your colour form the tube rather than just swiping it on. And if you’re scared the colour will bleed in the heat, brush a little concealer along the other edges of your lips.
Is purple your poison? If your skin tone is warm, then reach for a violet shade that has a red undertone. Got a cool skin tone? A lipstick with a blue base will look best on you.
Fuchsia is fierce! If you’re fair then brighter is better and if you’re dark then pink violets wow on your skin.
Crazy corals just say ‘summer’, but steer clear of the mattes and rather opt for a sheer formula that slides on like a balm.
If nudes are your go-to just beware: this look can wash you out if you go for a shade that’s too pale. Rather try a hue that matches your lips’ natural colour.
