We all have a make up must-have we swear by, and none are more deserving than the pout perfector we’ve formed an emotional attachment to over the years. Even if you’re not a big make up wearer, adding a little something-something to your lips is a must for many. Whether it’s the balms that have joined you on cold morning commutes or the lipsticks that saw you through date nights, it’s safe to say that lip products have quickly become guaranteed staples in everyone’s bags.
It’s no surprise then that lip make up is having a moment. From the no-make up make up lover who loves a glossy hue to the beauty obsessive partaking in a full-glam finish, lip trends are one that everyone can get involved in. Plus, we can’t forget the surge in the skinification of make up. Not only do we care for pigment, formula and payoff, but we also want to know the skin care benefits involved – think intense nourishment, sun protection, defence against daily aggressors, the list goes on…
