The Best New Lip Shades This Season
IF YOU WANT A HIGH GLOSS FINISH…
Lip gloss has evolved since the 90s. Forget sticky, tacky formulas, the latest formulations hitting the shelves are sheer, hydrating and incredibly wearable. They’re also a hot-trend on the runway, so its time to jump on the bandwagon with one of our picks below.
IF YOU WANT A LIGHTWEIGHT TEXTURE…
Barely there make-up has risen as a trend, with the concept now filtering into some of our favourite products, including lipsticks. Think light-as-air formulas that allow your lips to breathe with subtle, pretty pigment that flatters all skin tones. These don’t need much attention, simply slick on and go without worrying about a messy fade.
IF IT'S LONG-WEAR FORMULAS YOU'RE AFTER…
It used to be a quest to find a long-lasting lipstick that survived the day and night, but not anymore. New smudge-proof formulas no longer need constant re-application or frequent mirror checks – they go the distance for a foolproof pout. The best bit? Most contain nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and essential oils, so you no longer have to worry about dryness or flaking.
IF YOU WANT A MATTE LOOK…
A matte lip is a timeless look – as long as you keep your lips nourished and hydrated. The key is not to skip the prep. Start by exfoliating the skin to remove dead cells (you can do this with a dry toothbrush or warm flannel), followed by a slather of some balm pre-lipstick. For those a little afraid of matte, try applying it from the bullet with your finger, it’ll give you a more diffused, feathery finish that’s less daunting. Time to get busy with one of these new shades right here.
