Bold statement lips



If you like a bold bright lipstick to make a statement, then take a look at these.







YSL Vernis À Lèvres Vinyl Cream Liquid Lipstick in Rouge Remix, £26
This liquid lip colour is a fantastic combination of a long-lasting stain, a gloss and an intense hue. It is lovely and creamy so it feels great on the lips. It stays put for ages. I like the diamond-shaped applicator which is ideal for contouring and ensuring that the colour is applied evenly. For elegantly-dressed lips, this is hard to beat. Available in 12 shades. 







Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Ombré Sculpting Lipstick in Blush + Bloom, £25.50
An innovative idea from Estée Lauder. If you like creamy, opaque colours with a satin finish, you will want one of these beauties in your make-up collection. Contains hyaluronic acid which helps prevent your lips from drying out. The gradient colour makes your lips appear fuller and more defined. It also does not change colour. Another winner from Lauder. It come in four tempting hues.






MAC Liptensity in Life’s Blood, £17.50
A gorgeous bright highly-intense berry red which looks stunning on. MAC is one of the best brands for offering a wide variety of colours and tones. This 24-piece collection is no exception. It glides on like liquid and dries to an almost semi-matte finish. If you like bold opaque colours which stay true under different lights, you are going to love this range of brights and earthy shades.

Know Cosmetics No Bleeding Lips Secret Lip Liner, £12.50, Superdrug
Say goodbye to running gloss or lipstick with this clear lip liner from Know Cosmetics, a new brand in the UK that hails from Canada. Easy to apply, it works with any shade to stop lipstick smudging and feathering. It is waterproof so lasts a good few hours.

If you have thin lips and want to enhance your pout, treat yourself to the No Thin Lips Secret Lip Plumper (£15), in the same range. It is colourless and does make your lips look fuller. You can wear it alone or under lipstick. However, if you have sensitive lips you may find it a bit too tingly.
