They’re smooth, they’re intense and they offer true colour clarity – perfect for work and play. Let Revlon’s new Ultra HDTM Lipstick and Lip Lacquer play up your lips for the high-definition colours and coverage you’ve always wanted.

Let your vivid lips do the talking this season, when bare skin and makeup-free eyes are the rage. Whether for work or play, this look is easy to pull off, and it’s always sophisticated and glam. B

ut to achieve it, you need the right lippies. Many bold-hued lip products we buy disappoint us – they are patchy, need multiple coats to build intensity, or feel heavy when applied. Why? Most of them are oil- and wax-based.

The new Revlon Ultra HD Lipsticks and Lip Lacquers, however, are gel-based and wax-free. The gel base is clear, so the bold colours remain true. And without wax, they feel weightless.

ALL YOU NEED

Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick ($21.90) has a silky texture and moisturises without feeling heavy. You get full, dense, high-impact coverage in just one coat, sans patchiness.

The lipstick has the irresistibly sweet scent of whipped vanilla and mango cream, and comes in eight shades covering this season’s hottest hues, including rich red Gladiolus and orange/coral Tulip. All the shades have a soft matte finish that makes them ideal for both work and days off.

To turn up the shine on glam nights out, there’s Revlon Ultra HD Lip Lacquer ($19.90). This boasts the same colour intensity and light texture as the lipstick, but with a high-glossfinish that defines lips for a pouty look, without any stickiness. The brush applicator allows you to apply the lacquer easily and precisely. The lip lacquer range comprises six shades, with the standout being Smoky Quartz, a rich oxblood shade with flecks of gold.

GET IT RIGHT The most on-trend way to wear bold lips this season is with full, dark brows, bare skin and just a touch of mascara. The fi nal detail? A hint of blush in a colour that complements that of your lippie.
