Holiday Lip Colours & Tips.

Holiday’s mean parties. Lots of them. One of my favourite ways to get a little festive with my outfits is to play with my lip colour. I didn’t bring all of my makeup with me to Oxford, so while my selection may be a little more limited than usual, I figured out a few tips and tricks.

Tips and Tricks:

• Try layering your lipsticks to achieve a new colour
  • My favourite blend is a base layer of Sonya Kashuk Lip Pencil in Dahlia, topped with Sonya Kashuk Lipstick in True Red
• Blending a neutral and bright will tone down your bright for a whole new look (start with the light as the base)
• Moisturize. Moisturize. Moisturize. Before wearing any colour, it’s always best to have a great base – my favourites are vaseline lip butters

When the situation calls for a neutral, my favourite by far is Colour Riche Balm. I wore this colour to our wedding, and haven’t been able to find the exact same one yet, but I am holding out hope.

It’s the perfect light neutral shade, and the glossy impact is perfect for an understated look.
