How to choose your lipstick for the occasion
Lipstick is the fastest way to transform a face. You just need the right shade and texture for the moment. Here are my guidelines.
The nude that suits you
A good nude isn't "beige": it's slightly deeper than your natural lip colour. Warmer for golden skin, rosier for fair skin. On the hand it looks like nothing; on the lips it brightens.
The timeless red
A true red suits every skin tone, as long as you adjust the undertone: slightly orange to warm, slightly blue to make teeth look whiter. It's the touch that turns a simple outfit into a look.
Wear or comfort?
Matte long-wear formulas last for hours but dry the lips: perfect for an event, provided you hydrate beforehand. Satin textures are more comfortable day to day, even if you touch up.
The game changer: lip liner
A liner in your lip shade, blended over the whole surface before lipstick, extends the colour and stops it bleeding into fine lines. Ten seconds for hours gained.
For a special occasion, I choose the shade with you on the spot. See the services.
