A bright or bold lip is nothing to shy away from, even when worn to work. The beauty of a bold lip is that you can keep the rest of your look relatively clean and simple. This means less time getting ready in the morning, as well as a look that isn’t too over the top, but still lets your personality shine through, even in office wear.
These are the top 5 colours to try, rated from least to most daring. Which will you wear?
Tame – Pale Pink
The MeMeMe Cheek and Lip Tint in Poppy is the perfect foray into a pop of pout colour. Not too dark, a dab of this on the lips will bring some subtle brightness to your dial – perfect for winter.
Classically in-check – True Red
A true crimson red is the must have lip shade for any woman. A creamy lipstick, not too matte, not too glossy is the perfect base for such a classic hue. Try the Savoir Faire Lipstick in Risque.
Slightly more fiery – Orange Red
One step up from classic crimson, an orange based red is oh-so now and is slightly more eye catching too. A matte formula will keep it safe for work, and painting it on with a fine tipped brush will keep you lip lines precise and ‘grown-up’. Try the OCC Lip Tar in Psycho.
Devilishly daring! – Deep Wine
Perfect for winter, a deep berry red or wine hue will suit most skin tones and looks amazing on raven or brunette haired ladies. Try in a tint – like the Bloom Lip Stain in Wine – the darker hue will be more subtle in this formulation, as well as long lasting.
Beauty favours the brave! – Bright Pink
A bold pink hue is more suited to a less formal work environment, but don’t for a second think it’s too ‘girly’. Hot pink has come a long way and is associated less with Barbie and more with on-trend beauty. The Savoir Faire Mini Lipstick is a great option to dip your toes into the trend – it’ll last you a season and cost you only $7.50!
