Why this worksA bright lip can instantly lift your mood and enhance your overall look. The key is to choose the right shade and finish that complements your skin tone, while keeping your lips hydrated and smooth. By using layering techniques and the right tools, you can achieve a professional look at home.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Your Lips Start with a gentle lip scrub or a DIY sugar scrub to slough off dead skin. This will create a smooth canvas for your lip colour and help it last longer.
  2. Moisturise with Lip Balm Apply a nourishing lip balm to hydrate your lips. This prevents dryness and ensures your lipstick or gloss applies smoothly without clinging to any dry patches.
  3. Choose Your Lip Colour Select a bright shade that suits your skin tone. Corals, pinks, and bright reds are great options for spring. Test a few shades to find your perfect match!
  4. Apply with Precision Use a lip brush for precise application or apply directly from the bullet for a bolder look. Start from the centre of your lips and work your way outwards for even coverage.
  5. Set with Powder Lightly dust translucent powder over your lips to set the colour and increase longevity. This step can help prevent feathering and keep your look fresh.

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is skipping exfoliation, which can lead to uneven application. Others often choose shades that don't complement their skin tone or forget to set the colour, resulting in quick wear-off. Lastly, applying lip colour too thickly can cause it to bleed outside the lip line.

The pro moveFor a fun twist, try layering a gloss over your lipstick for added shine and dimension.
