Lips
Everyday colour
With lip liner, try to draw the line just slightly over the
edge to create a fuller mouth. If you go inside the lip
line you are cutting yourself short. Use gloss just into
the centre of the mouth. As this is the bigger and more
forward part of the mouth, light will hit there first and give
a great reflection to make your lips appear more plump.
Opt for a natural-coloured lip pencil and outline, then
lightly feather the colour into your lips, leaving the centre
of your lips lighter – this creates a 3D effect so your lips
appear fuller.
Get your lips looking full and juicy by slicking on a
gloss with some plumping properties. A sheer lip gloss
with a high shine finish or some multi-dimensional colour
will have lips looking lush and well conditioned.
For the best nude lip, foundation out your lip slightly
first so your own lip colour is not coming through or
competing with the nude shade of lip colour that you
choose. This way you are getting the truest colour on
your lip and not your own pink tone coming through.
But be warned, less is definitely more with this look!
Nothing looks worse than a lipstick that is super matte
and nude and applied thickly to the lips to look like
liquid paper! You want it to look as natural as possible
– whenever we are envious of Angelina we are noticing
her fabulous lips, not her makeup!
Opt for a nude lipstick with a slight shine and build
up light layers with a lip brush. Pop a nude gloss over
the top that has a slight hint of pink or peach running
through it.

Red lips
Scar-Jo always has us blushing with her rosy red mouth, a
look that many of us wish to emulate but don’t know if we
can pull it off. The good news is that anyone can actually
wear red.
Cool skin tones and pale milky tones are generally suited
to blue-based reds, whereas olive tones are better suited
to brick reds.
Firstly, apply a light-textured light reflective concealer
along the outline of the lips to eliminate any uneven tones
– use a very small amount as it’s essential that it appears
very natural. Then fill in your lips with a lip primer to allow
longevity and prevent the lipstick from moving or bleeding.
One way to apply a red lipstick is with your fingers. On
a clean, moisturised lip, use your ring finger to dab on the
red lipstick, turning your finger to fit into your lip shape. This
actually melts the lipstick onto your lip, saves you time and
will last longer. Now that you have a base, edge and polish
off the shape of the lip perfectly with a matching red lip liner.
Blot the lip colour with a tissue and re-apply – layering is the
key to long-lasting colour.
