GROWN-UP GLOSS

A PLUMPING gloss is a make-up must-have for the party season. But forget the sticky, pearlised gloss of your teenage years. The newest offerings help to define lips, cleverly making them look fuller.

For a sophisticated finish, avoid sparkle and glitter.

Instead, try the new Lancôme L’Absolu Gloss Rosy Plump (£23, lancome. co. uk), a pretty seashell pink shade which creates a cooling sensation as it plumps. I also love the 14-colour range of Buxom Full-On Lip Cream (£15, cultbeauty. as well as Wunderkiss Plumping Gloss (£17.95, wunder2. co. uk), now in three new shades including nude and berry. This uses a special technology to help hyaluronic acid molecules absorb more effectively — which in turn hydrates and fills out lips.
