Bold lips are back, in a big way. We’ve rounded up our favourites for lips that say it all.
SHOP THE EDITLip Care
First thing’s first, start with a hydrating lip balm — a smooth and moisturized base allows for colour to glide onto smoothly and evenly. For daily wear, go for an SPF lip balm like Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour® Cream Nourishing Lip Balm with SPF 20 to protect the delicate skin of your lips against environmental aggressors. For optimal results, try a nourishing balm that can be used overnight such as Augustinus Bader’s The Lip Balm and Sisley’s Nutritive Lip Balm.

La Vie En Rose
You don’t need rose-tinted lenses for a rosy outlook, just the perfect shade of pink lipstick. Whether you’re looking for a fierce fuschia or a more dainty coral, life is definitely better in pink. Code8’s Minimalist Glaze Lip Lacquer is one of our favourites for a buildable liquid lip with a semi-glossy finish. Pair it with Laura Mercier Long Wear Lip Liner in Macaron for extra definition.

Red Rebellion
This one’s for the woman who likes to make a statement: Think fire engine red, berry tones and classic deep hues. Start with a lip liner for an opaque, transfer-proof base, we love MAC Cosmetics’ lip liner in Cherry, then follow with TOM FORD BEAUTY’s ultra-creamy and pigmented lipstick in Scarlet Rouge, or Gucci Beauty’s 25* Goldie Red for that classic Hollywood red. [For a subtle ruby tint, we love Clarins Deep Red Water Lip Stain.]
