Lovely lips
New ways to power up your pout, with our pick of products that nourish and add colour.
GIVENCHY LE ROUGE LIQUIDE
A real game changer, this liquid lippie offers a deeply pigmented
colour in a light, easy-to-apply cream.
Its pen-like foam applicator delivers just the right amount of
colour, which then dries to a nearly matte
finish without drying out your lips. It stays put thanks to clay extracts, while smoothing and nourishing the lips with
moisture-retaining hyaluronic acids. For staying power and luscious-looking lips, this is a standout. $59, David Jones
SURRATT BEAUTY LA BATON ROUGE LIPSTICK
Feel like a shiny lip or in the mood for matte?
This versatile product contains a duo of complementary formulas. The creamy base on one end delivers rich colour, while the pure Japanese pigment powder on the other, delivers a long-lasting but never-drying ultra-matte finish.
$55, mecca.com.au
RODAN + FIELDS REDEFINE LIP RENEWING SERUM
The serum within these tiny capsules has a nourishing mix of peptides, vitamin E shea butter and oils – all of which are specially chosen to revitalise a part of the face that does it tough, often drying out due to the wind and sun. A smart, overnight treatment
that adds moisture and softens skin. $77, rodanandfields.com.au
BOURJOIS LIP DUO SCULPT
A lip-defining liner and lipstick in one is definitely going to simplify
your morning rush. Bourjois has created an applicator that includes
two coordinated shades, giving a gradation effect when you put it on to create the illusion of fuller,
plumper lips. $24, Priceline
“I usually find liquid matte lipstick quite drying but not the Givenchy. It has hyaluronic acid to help moisturise and plump lips — and it’s comfortable!”
