Red lipstick is classic and nude lips have been enjoying time in the spotlight, but if you want to make a new kind of statement, it’s all about burgundy. Here are four ways this rich hue can work for you.
1
Balance bold lips with natural brows
“Ox blood looks especially amazing on paler complexions with just brushed-up brows and mascara,” says Lancôme National Makeup Director Lara Srokowski. Try Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge in Berry Noir.
2
Go soft for daytime
“Satin and cream lipsticks have lots of moisturising properties and are super comfortable, so they’re perfect to wear during the day,” explains Srokowski. Plus, they’re a happy medium between gloss and matte. Try Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Richer Raisin.
3
Pair with a subtle flush
Keep focus on the lips with subtly contoured skin and sheer blush. Lip colour to try: Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color in Divine Wine.
4
Try an all-matte approach
“Matte lipstick is my all-time favourite – it makes a bold statement and lasts all day,” says Srokowski. Pair with a velvety base and powder blush for a polished effect. On your lips, try Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Endangered Red.
