One lip colour, three ways to wear it

Your favourite lip colour can fit more than one mood. Start with the finish you feel like wearing, then build your look around it.

A soft touch

Apply a small amount of colour to the centre of your lips and gently blend towards the edges with a clean fingertip. Keep the rest of your makeup simple for an easy everyday look.

A defined lip

Trace the natural outline of your lips with a coordinating lip pencil, then apply your colour inside the outline. Take your time around the cupid’s bow and corners.

A fuller statement

Apply your colour evenly, blot gently with a tissue, and add another light layer if you prefer a stronger finish. Check the result in natural light and adjust until it feels right for you.

There is no single look to get right. Explore different amounts of colour and choose the version that feels most like you.
