4) '90s Twist
Throw it back to the ‘90s and line your lips in a deep brown hue. We love Morphe Colour Pencil in ‘Sweet Tea’ for its rich, chocolate tone, helping to bring definition and dimension to your pout. Keep it soft in the centre with a generous swipe of MAC Matte Lipstick in ‘Velvet Teddy’, the iconic shade in everyone’s makeup bag. Blend and blur with your finger to create a sultry ombré effect.

5) Summer Sunset
Marry rich red hues and punchy coral tones to give your pout a tropical makeover. Apply a swipe of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Lipstick in ‘1966’ all over, using the innovative square bullet to achieve crisp, even definition. Then, bring lips to life with a pop benefit ChaCha Tint Mango Lip & Cheek Stain in the centre. Pat out to blur at the edges, and watch how your lips take on an eye-catching sunset gradient.

My large family of mainly women has made me passionate about all things beauty from a young age: from routines passed down from my grandmother, to trying the latest products and trends. After training as an MUA at MAC Cosmetics, my love for makeup has now evolved into making sure my skincare creates the perfect canvas for any look. I love anything that can make my base feel fresh & bright while accentuating my features – Bobbi Brown's Face Base is my holy grail at the moment!
