PRIMING
LE MÉTIER DE BEAUTÉ
Hydra Plump Lip Serum
“This is the noncommittal way to get a fuller pout. You apply like a lip gloss and the hyaluronic acid instantly smoothes and plumps, without a greasy residue. Ideal for day and night.”

girl lip stylo in innovator
“This intense, vivid, glossy colour is incredible for day and night. You could pair it with a white shirt and jeans or a little black dress for evening. It makes teeth look whiter and is a fail-safe, bold colour that I've added to my makeup bag.”

the expert lip color in thelmadora
“Wow. This is a seriously silky lipstick texture. It feels like a lip balm on application, but delivers a beautiful, sheer finish. It's more of a lip tint, which makes it ideal for any age and any time of day.”
MATTE

Rouge-Expert Click Stick in Bare Me
“It's hard to get the Style team who don't work on beauty to get excited about incoming products. This Click Stick changed everything: the whole office was raving about the liner shaped tip, the staying-power of the pigment and the hydrating formula. It's a winner.”

NARS
Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Famous Red
“Anyone can look great in a Nars Lip Pencil. It has seriously impressive staying power, and the tapered tip helps create a perfect, even shape. For texture, matte normally means dry and flat. This formula is the opposite: it's silky, soft, vibrant and glowy. I love it.”

NUDESTIX
Lip & Cheek Colour in Whisper
“Two swipes back and forth of this creamy texture, and you've got a perfect, full coverage lip look. The pencil format makes it easy to apply and I love that you can use it on cheeks too.”

Velour Lovers Lip Colour in Smile
Available in 6 shades
“I love that these are metallic rather than pearlescent (which can look a little dated.) This finish is modern and chic and makes any eye colour pop. I predict the metallic lip texture will be huge this year.”

Famous Last Words in See Ya
“I call this a grown up liquid-lipstick. The luxurious texture feels like a gloss, but delivers a full-coverage, matte finish. It's easy to apply and ideal for everyday. This one is an easy-to-wear, low maintenance, warm nude.”
