Big Bold Lip Guide

by

20s

In your twenties your lips are at their fullest
so you can wear sheer, shiny, bright lip colors.

30s

Switch to lip stain and long-wearing
formulas. They require minimal touch-ups and are a low-maintenance way to wear
colors that pop.

40s

Look for formulas that are sheet and
creamy. They illuminate your face and moisturize lips without a sticky, tacky
finish.

50s

To rock a bold lip in your fifties, stick
to nourishing formulas with anti-ageing benefits.

60s

To look ultra-chic and confident, wear a
stand-out color with a long-lasting and creamy formula.

How to make your lipstick last longer

  • Lippy holds on best to a smooth surface
    so prep your lips with an exfoliate and balm. Finish with a translucent
    powder for extra hold
  • Use a lip liner to lightly trace your
    pout, then diffuse edges with a cotton tip. This prevents color bleeding
    into fine lines around lips.
  • Use a lip brush to fill in your pout.
    Using a lip brush not only makes lips look hot, you’ll get more
    applications out of your lippy.
  • Personalize your pout. For lush Angelina
    Jolie lips slightly over-trace your Cupid’s bows with a lip liner and
    finish with a gloss. For a petite pout, cover with concealer and apply
    lipstick without liner.
