Finding a good nude lipstick that is near to your own lip colour is difficult enough for most people. If you have highly-pigmented lips the task is even more tricky.
I was delighted to find two fantastic ones in Clinique’s new
Dramatically Different Lipstick Shaping Lip Colour range. Not normally a fan of
lipstick because it is too drying, I was converted to this recently-launched
one because it is so hydrating. That is saying something from somebody who has
incredibly parched lips. All the lipsticks in the line are free from paraben and
phthalates. Another plus is that they are not fragranced so there is no taste,
just silky-smooth lips. The colour lasts for ages as well. The 3D pearl centre seems to make your pout look fuller and
plumper.
These two give a lovely flush to the skin and add that extra
polished look.
Clinique Dramatically Different Lipstick Shaping Lip
Colour in Sugared Maple, £20.50
A pretty bronze
nude with rosy undertones, this
is the lipstick that is my lips only better. It has to be the best
one that I have found to date. There is just the right amount of shimmer to
give a lovely sheen to the lips.
Clinique Dramatically Different Lipstick Shaping Lip
Colour in Think Bronze, £20.50
More on the peachy side, this is another great neutral shade. The
metallic finish gives the lips a subtle shine.
When my lips are feeling particularly in need of a drink, I
put Clinique Pep-Start Pout Restoring Night Mask (£16) underneath which also
creates a glossy finish.
I am so impressed with this range that I am going to check
out the other shades. I just could get converted to wearing a more dramatic lip
in the evening.
