This spring, summer, and fall, it’s all about lips. Lips take front and center stage in bold new ways. Gone are words like shine and petal soft. Colors are either nonexistent or bold.
Matte Lips
So what are matte lips anyway? Well, fashion boards everywhere are touting the look as THE look of the year. Get a matte lipped look by ditching shine for pure, flat color applied fully to the lips. These new matte lip colors are not dry, cakey, or dull. They are vibrant expressions of color–colors expressed in pure and vibrant shades of peach, pink, and red. Wear the peachy lips with a smoky eye lid treatment as a compliment to men’s wear fashion and tailored clothing. Intense dark raspberry color stains lips in an intriguing full pout. Great for exotic evening wear. Last year’s bright and shiny red is replaced by a deep and intense red that is stunning in a matte finish.
No or Natural Color Lips
No-color lips are facilitated by adding foundation or concealer to the lip area. Think it looks like a makeup faux pas? It’s not. Look at fall runways and see this look on many models. The natural lip is back. Use a balm or moisturizer to make lips take on a healthy, but not too shiny look. Natural lip color that glows is the only allowable shine on lips this year.
How to Get Pouty Lips
Want those full, pouty lips that look so great in all of the fashion photos? Many models resort to collagen injections to give their lips a full and pouty look. Short of fillers, what is a woman to do? There are many options. Some products fill out lips by hydrating and moisturizing. At the other end of the spectrum are products that cause a slight allergic reaction, making the lips swell. Somewhere in between, most women find the solution to their lip worries.
