Kiss Me Deadly

Makeup’s going through a retro redux. Like in the ’80s, puckers are bolder, brighter and stronger, and the latest lipsticks are helping us achieve the look faster and better than before.

Makeup’s going through a retro redux. Like in the ’80s, puckers are bolder, brighter and stronger, and the latest lipsticks are helping us achieve the look faster and better than before. 

My Reading Room
M.A.C COLOUR ROCKER MATTE LIPSTICK
A guaranteed hit with makeup artists – thanks to its strong pigment payoff and experimental shades that range from sexy bright red and plumtinged noir to lime green and rich teal. Formulated to be long lasting, it comes in 28 colours that are as great for everyday wear as they are for parties.
On model: Colour Rocker Matte Lipstick in Yellow You Dare? and Forbidden Sunrise. Jacket, Prada

DIOR ADDICT LACQUER STICK
In 18 shades, this lacquerlipstick hybrid marries the shine, smoothness and colour intensity of a liquid with the convenience of a stick applicator. Infused with nourishing oils, beeswax and aquasi-crystalline base, it melts into a hydrating fluid with a radiant finish that lasts up to six hours.
On model: Addict Lacquer Stick in #684 Diabolo and #924 Sauvage. Dress, Chanel
My Reading Room
BOBBI BROWN ART STICK LIQUID LIP
Looks like a fat pencil, works like liquid lipstick (just squeeze to release colour). Creamy and super-pigmented with a semimatte finish, all 16 shades glide effortlessly to give bold, full coverage with a luxe yet lightweight feel. (P.S. They stay on for up to eight hours.)

MAKE UP FOR EVER ARTIST ACRYLIP

Think of this as the Mystique of lipsticks: It recalls acrylic paint with its pigmented colour (choose from 10) and thin, stretchy texture, and is one of the strongest around. Its other powers: the ability to create a “wet” finish that helps deepen and intensify colour pigments (thanks to the castor oil in its formula), and fill out fine lines for smoother skin and higher luminuosity.

On model: Artist Acrylip in #201 and #300. Jacket, Chanel
