Loud Mouth

This season bold tones are back, it's time to put away your dark winter wine/berry toned lipstick and try a vibrant burst of colour for Spring. If you want to make a statement and aquamarine eyes are not your thing then take inspiration straight from the runway and try a dose of tangy tangerine.

Orange is the colour of the moment and coral lipstick suits every age and skin tone. It brightens the complexion, giving your face an instant lift. If you opt for a high impact lip team with a flawless complexion and long, full lashes and a winged liner. 



How to wear it? ...Choose your hue

* Want to tone it down a notch? Play it safe with a peachy tone gloss which flatters all skin tones.
* Vibrant orange hues compliment a pale skin.
* A deep coral orange works well against a darker skin
* A sheer, pinky orange enhances an olive complexion.

Seen on the catwalk at Dhini's Australian fashion week was the two toned lip, contrasting brights for a look that really pops. Don’t be afraid  to clash vivid shades for a look that’s bursts with brightness.


Pop that pout: How to achieve a perfect Spring lip:


When it comes to wearing a bright lip, it’s all about the application. A bold lip requires some prep work.

* To avoid a patchy colour, gently exfoliate lips first. A cheap and inexpensive way to exfoliate lips is to cover the lips with a lip balm or vaseline and gently buff a toothbrush over the surface of the lips.

* Prep lips with a moisturizing and nourishing  lip balm and lightly blot after 5mins.  
Not only will your lips look plumper they will hold the colour longer and the lip contours will be more defined.

* If your lips are a little uneven define the lip line with a matching pencil for a sharper finish or line first and fill in the entire lip area to avoid an obvious lip line as the lipstick fades. Use a pencil in a shade similar to your lipstick hue or one close to your natural lip colour. This will also  prevent the colour from bleeding. 

* Then apply a high voltage orange lipstick with a lip brush for a chic, polished look. Blot and re apply for a better depth of colour. 
*
 Finish with a lipstick sealer like Magic Fix for a semi matt finish or add a dab of shimmery gloss to the centre of the lips for a more luminous finish.
