Lips: Lip Pencil in Half Red and Auburn, Lipstick in Hot Tahiti
A simple red lip that’s wearable at any time. Use a soft lip liner on the outer edge in a more neutral shade than your lipstick. Keep the lip colour stronger in the centre of your lips then fade it out.

Contouring sculpts and defines the face, creating the illusion of stronger cheekbones, a straighter nose and smouldering eyes. Use cream contour and highlight to blend imperceptibly into skin.
