Lip tips and clever tricks with lip colour.

make lip colour last longer

Exfoliating lips not only improves their texture but also gives lip balms and lipstick more staying power. Don’t overdo it now- our lips are super sensitive!

make lips appear fuller

Applying a slick of gloss over your lipstick will make lips appear fuller.

prevent lipstick teeth

After applying your lip colour, put a (clean) finger in your mouth and slowly twist it out again to remove any excess colour from the inside of your lips. (Tip: best NOT done in company.)

disguise thin lips

Avoid deep colours as these can make lips appear narrow. Instead choose matt nude tones and glosses for fuller-looking lips.

avoid looking 'overdone'

Choose bold lips or bold eyes, but not both or you’ll risk looking overdone. Let your natural beauty shine.

balance uneven lips

One lip thinner than the other? Use a lighter coloured lip colour on the thinner lip with a dab of gloss in the middle to make it appear fuller.
