LIPSTICK SHADES TO LOVE
If there’s one thing that every makeup bag needs, it’s a confidence-bestowing lipstick - be it in a subtle nude or striking red. Our expert Beauty Style Team delve in to their lipstick library and share expert advice on which shades are best for you.
THE NUDE SHADE
M·A·C, Powder Kiss Lipstick; Shade Impulsive
A good nude shade is an everyday makeup essential and M·A·C’s Powder Kiss works a soft suede texture. The sexy blurred lip edge was something we saw on the catwalks this season and is a modern take on your classic matte lip. Shade Impulsive is a blush-brown hue, it’s ultra-matte and great for someone with a warm complexion. Give it a try!

THE PINK SHADE
TOM FORD, Lip Colour; Shade India Rose
India Rose by Tom Ford is a really universal shade of dusky pink which works on most skin tones. The creamy, buttery texture feels soft on the lips yet is very long lasting. I always suggest this shade for bridal parties as it complements all skin tones and types from the bride, to the bridesmaids and mother-of-the-bride. It’s also a beautiful keepsake to remind you of the big day.

THE CITRUS SHADE
LANCÔME, L'Absolu Gloss Matte; Shade 144
Delivering a velvety demi-matte finish, L’Absolu Gloss Matte from Lancôme is super hydrating. Packed with pigments this gloss gives a welcome shot of colour in one swipe, there’s no need to layer it. The delicious tangy shade works well on most skin tones, and is a cool colour update to give your beauty look for spring.
Elena Costello
THE CLASSIC RED
DIOR, Limited Edition Rouge Dior Lipstick; Shade 999
The ultimate accessory for your night out, Rouge Dior Lipstick in a classic red shade 999 is a blue tone red which is great for fair skinned types and also give the wondrous effect of making your teeth look whiter than they are. If you are already a fan of this tone then why not try it in a different texture, its available in full matte, creamy and in a gloss.
Elena Costello
THE CORAL SHADE
BOBBI BROWN, Lucky in Luxe Lipstick; Shade Retro Coral
Bobbi Brown are the go-to brand for incredible everyday beauty staples. The Lucky in Luxe lipstick is not too heavily pigmented and gives a soft satin finish. This colour really freshens up all complexions, bringing a little spring zing to your face.
Aidan Corcoran
THE BRIGHT PINK
HUDA BEAUTY, Liquid Matte; Shade Gossip Gurl
The Liquid Matte Lipstick by Huda Beauty is so full-coverage you don’t need to use a lip-liner. Unlike most high impact matte formulas it doesn’t dry or flake even after a couple of hours of wear. The Gossip Gurl shade is a rose colour and is a the ultimate Huda Beauty handbag essential. One swipe and you are done.
Elena Costello
THE BURGUNDY SHADE
GIORGIO ARMANI, Lip Magnet; Shade 403
Don’t be fooled by the small size of the Lip Magnet, this formula packs a punch. Like all Giorgio Armani products they feel like silk on the skin. We love this deep shade of burgundy that will age like a good vintage throughout the day.
Elena Costello
THE PLUM SHADE
CHARLOTTE TILBURY, Matte Revolution Lipstick; Shade Glastonberry
Named after Glastonbury, this is a deep, powerful plum hue that will give you a festival-ready look in minutes. This statement shade works on both pale and olive skins and works that trademark texture that Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks are famous for.
Aidan Corcoran
THE LIP BALM
CLARINS, Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector; Shade Hot Pink
Like a lip balm but with a slight tint of colour to it, this lip balm perfector is perfect for dehydrated lips in need of some TLC. We love this pink tone that just steps up your own natural lip colour with a soft glossy finish.
