LIGHTWEIGHT CREAMS

Perhaps it’s the muggy weather here, but the latest crop of lipsticks out in stores are more about texture than colour. YSL Beaute, for example, has reformulated one of its signature glosses to come up with Volupte Liquid Colour Balm. Despite its name, it has a creamy texture that feels lightweight yet leaves a satiny finish and strong colour payoff. Offering a similar effect: Hera’s Rouge Holic Exceptional, which promises to go on smooth, stay on, yet feel like you’ve got nothing on.
