Every outfit needs that finishing touch, and on a grey day nothing will lift your mood like a good lipstick. If you are not used to wearing lipstick and worry that it might not suit you- don't worry. With countless shades and qualities out there, there really is something for everyone. First of all you need to consider your lips for a moment; are they prone to be dry? Then a moisturising lipstick would be preferable. Do you usually wear a lot of make up? If not, you should probably choose a more natural hue. Do you want a sparkly, matted or shiny lipstick? These are all factors that need to be considered before you approach the lipstick jungle. And don't forget to invest in a good primer for a smoother look!
The bold- When it comes to lip colour you can hardly go more classic than red. With icons like Marilyn Monroe and Gwen Stefani favouring this statement lip, how could it possibly be anything but fabulous? Make sure to try it on before purchasing to make sure you get a shade that suits your skin tone.
This bold red lipstick is from Dior, Dior Addict Extreme (Fireworks 756) £24.
The subtle- If you usually hardly wear make-up an everyday shade might suit you better, with a good lipstick you don't need anything else. If you are looking for a lipstick to last throughout the day a moisturising quality is preferable.
This moisturising lipstick is from Clinique, Chubby Stick Moisturising Lip Colour Balm (Mega melon) £17.
The gothic- If you are looking for a more gothic look with a hint towards old Hollywood glamour there are several shades to choose from. Dark reds, browns and purples will all give you that vintage look, but the best way to know which one you prefer is once again to try them on. Just how dark you want to go is up to you, but try and go for a matted colour since a shiny dark lip can easily be a bit too much.
This creamy purple hue is from Chanel, Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour (Elegante) £26.
The girly- If you are more comfortable in 'girlier' blush tones you should continue that theme with your lipstick. Whether you choose to compliment your look with a bright pink or a blush tone, a pink lip will never go out of style.
This long lasting bright pink is from M.A.C, Pro Longwear Lipcreme (Love Forever!) £18.
