Lipsticks offer an effortless way to enhance and transform your look. With their ability to add colour, definition, and flair to the lips, they play a pivotal role in makeup routines, ranging from everyday elegance to bold, statement looks.

Lipsticks come in a myriad of formulations, finishes, and shades, allowing for endless versatility and personal expression. Whether aiming for a classic red pout, a subtle nude, or an adventurous hue, lipsticks can elevate your appearance and complete any beauty ensemble with just a few swipes.

The Types of Lipsticks Available

There is a diverse range of lipsticks available, each designed to achieve different effects:

Each type of lipstick caters to different preferences and occasions, ensuring you can find the perfect product for any lip look you desire.

Find the Right Lipstick

Get the best from your lippy and make your lips stand out with these tips:

  • Dark skin equals greater flexibility. If you have a dark skin tone you will find reds, chocolates, plums, pastels and oranges all work with your skin. Remember, the deeper your skin tone, the deeper the shade of lipstick you can wear.
  • If you have a medium skin tone with golden undertones, all shades of red will suit your lips. Brown-based mauve, sheer berry or spicy brown will also look great.
  • If you have pale skin, it is best to stick to nudes, beige tones, light corals and light pinks. Sheer formulations will probably be most flattering on you.

Lipstick Tips

The following lipstick tips will ensure a flawless application and long-lasting results:

  • Exfoliate and Moisturise: Before applying lipstick, exfoliate your lips to remove any dead skin cells and ensure a smooth surface. Use a gentle lip scrub or a toothbrush to gently buff your lips. Follow up with a hydrating lip balm to moisturise and create a smooth base, which helps prevent the lipstick from clinging to dry patches and enhances its overall finish.
  • Use a Lip Liner: For precise application and to prevent lipstick from feathering or bleeding, outline your lips with a matching or slightly darker lip liner. This step also helps to define the lip shape, creating a clean and polished look. Lip liner can also be used to fill in the lips as a base for longer-lasting colour.
  • Apply in Layers: For a more intense and long-lasting finish, apply your lipstick in layers. Start with a thin layer, blot with a tissue to remove excess product, and then apply a second coat. This technique builds up colour gradually and helps set the lipstick, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
  • Use a Lip Brush: For precise application and to achieve a more defined look, use a lip brush to apply your lipstick. A lip brush allows for better control and can help you reach the corners of your lips more easily, ensuring an even application and reducing the risk of smudges.
  • Set with Powder: To enhance the longevity of your lipstick, lightly dust translucent powder over your lips after application. Place a tissue over your lips and apply a thin layer of powder on top. This technique helps to set the lipstick and reduce transfer, keeping your lip colour intact for longer periods.

By following these tips, you can achieve a perfectly applied and long-lasting lip look that enhances your overall makeup.
