• Medium Skin: Mauves, berries, and rich reds complement these tones.

• Dark Skin: Burgundy, chocolate, and deep reds make a bold statement.

2. Match the Occasion

• Workdays: Opt for subtle nudes or soft mattes.

• Evenings: Go dramatic with bold reds or metallic finishes.

• Casual Outings: Pick playful pinks or glossy shades.

3. Embrace Seasonal Trends

Experiment with warm tones in winter and vibrant hues in summer to stay on-trend.

 

Lipstick Application Tips for a Flawless Look

• Exfoliate and Moisturise: Smooth lips are the canvas for flawless lipstick application.

• Use a Lip Liner: Define your lips and prevent smudging by applying a lip liner before lipstick.

• Layer for Intensity: For a dramatic effect, layer your lipstick and blot in between.

• Finish with Gloss: Add a layer of gloss for extra shine and dimension.
