When the mercury drops, the quickest, easiest way to perk up your look is with a pop of colour on your pout.
This season, reds, berries and chocolate shades are sure to get you noticed. Make sure your application is precise by starting with a lip liner in a transparent or matching lip shade. Then apply your colour straight from the tube. Matte shades are great for a long-lasting result. Plus the latest matte formulations are comfortable and moisturising too.

Purple
To carry off this vampy shade, keep your eye makeup simple. We love Smashbox Be Legendary Matte Lipstick in Screen Queen Matte (R260).
Red
Always a classic look that instantly makes you look polished. We love Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick Matte in Red Hot (R275).
Pink
A bold shade to uplift tones of grey, go for Revlon HD Matte Lipcolor in Devotion (R165) which glides on like a gloss but holds intense pigments.
Brown
As an ode to the ’90s trend, swipe on a chocolate shade. If the colour is too dark for your dab it onto your lips for a sexy, smudged effect. Keep your skin dewy and your lashes defined. We like Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Matte Sculpting Lipstick in Desirous (R365).
