THE NEW GLOSS

YSL Vernis À Lèvres Water

Stain in Rouge Déluge, £29,

yslbeauty.co.uk

A far cry from the heavy, tacky

formulas we’ve got our hair

stuck to over the years, this

gives a high-shine finish via

a watery film. One layer gives

a light splash of colour, two

or three dial up the intensity.

THE FULL-ON FINISH

Morphe Mega Matte Lipstick in

Dominate, £10, lookfantastic.com

Like power-dressing for your face,

this pigment-packed matte is not for

the faint-hearted. But it’s surprisingly

creamy for a soft, smooth finish. The

blue undertones make teeth look

whiter and flatter cool complexions.

THE RELAUNCH

Nars Satin Lipstick in

Jungle Red, £22, Nars

Celebrating 25 years of

ripping up the beauty

rulebook, Nars have

relaunched the

original 12 lipstick

shades that first

put them on

the map. Rich

and vibrant, this

powerful red

with just a hint of

pink is our hot pick.

THE CLEVER

CRAYON

Maybelline Superstay

Ink Crayon in Hustle in

Heels, £9.99, Superdrug

Completely fuss-free, this

twist-up crayon has a built-in

sharpener so you can get the

precision of a liner all the way

to end of the bullet. Thanks to

a smart elastic technology, it

doesn’t fully dry so you don’t

have to worry about cracking.

THE ONE THAT

GIVES BACK

Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2

in Patsy Red, £28,

charlottetilbury.com

Formulated with the light-

reflecting pigments that made

her other lipsticks a success,

with Charlotte’s Hot Lips 2

you get your lips, but better.

This shade was inspired by

her mum and she’s pledged

£1 million to Women for

Women International.

THE NEEDLE-FREE PLUMPER

Sisley Paris Phyto Rouge Lipstick in Rouge Monaco,

£38, net-a-porter.com

Indulgence in a tube, the cleverly tapered bullet and

luminous finish make this a game changer. Justifying

the price tag with hyaluronic acid and konjac

glucomannan, lips get an anti-ageing elasticity boost.

THE LONG-

WEAR LINER

Laura Mercier Lip Liner

in Crimson, £19,

feelunique.com

Adding definition to

your pout by prepping

with liner will mean your

colour won’t feather.

The texture is rich, as

well as soft enough to

be worn all over the lips.

THE MOISTURISING

MATTE

Milk Makeup Lip Colour in Name

Drop, £22, cultbeauty.com

Thanks to shea butter, coconut and

grapeseed oils, this lippy delivers

a powdery matte

finish with no

telltale dryness

or flaking.

THE ONE

THAT WON’T

BUDGE

bareMinerals BarePro

Lipstick in Cranberry,

£20, John Lewis

& Partners

Blending mineral

pigments with lipids

naturally found in skin,

this locks in colour that

won’t smudge or transfer. This

darker hue

looks beautiful

on chocolate-

toned

brunettes

Deeper

this matte

formula

Perfect

for pale, rosy

complexions

thanks to the

undertone

THE HYBRID

Clarins Joli Rouge Lacquer in Spicy

Chili, £22, Debenhams

The punchy pigment of a lipstick with

the hydrating benefits of a balm – this

is the perfect entry-level lippy, and

creates the illusion of a fuller pout.

Nice

and neutral

enough to work

with all shades

of lippy
