Get the look: vinyl shine
Join the glossy posse with a lacquered lip this summer. The simplest way to update your spring make up aesthetic, switch moody mattes for fresh, juicy-fruit vinyls and reach for a bold, patent coat for your kisses (we dare you)!
Let your lips do the talking by keeping the rest of your make up pared-back. Glossy lips look best when set against velveteen skin so achieve a smooth, suede-effect finish with NYX Professional Makeup's {Stay Matte But Not Flat Foundation} which lends a chic, demi-matte finish.
Use a light touch - less base is better as Mercury rises - so stipple foundation to let your your own idio-SKIN-cracies shine (free the freckle)! And if you love a little extra warmth to lift your sun-starved visage, try the light-scattering {California Beamin' Face & Body Bronzer} - a finely-milled powder that lends a soft, 'golden hour' glow.
Embolden your brows with the {Fill & Fluff Eyebrow Pomade Pencil} - a dual-ended tool that adds 'oomph' to sparse arches - then amp up the dramz with a PVC pout...
Define your lip line with the {Suede Matte Lip Liner} in shade 'Kitten Heels' - a sexy brick red that creates a great shape and prevents colour bleeding - then channel some cool, '90s vibes with a frost-effect gloss. Optically volumising, augment reality thanks to the new {Filler Instinct Plumping Lip Polish} in shade 'Sparkling Please' - a glimmering pink that will thrill your internal Cher Horowitz...
End with a quick spritz of {Matte Setting Spray} then get set for seduction - feather-topped pens at the ready!
