Just because all the beauty buzz is about bold eyes at the moment, and applying coloured lippy feels a little wasted when we’ve got face masks on, doesn’t mean we’re completely neglecting our lips altogether. If anything, now’s the time to take extra care of your kissers with the cold winter weather making them more susceptible to dryness and chapping.
Inspired by the beauties celebrating #InternationalLipstickDay we asked our in-house makeup artist Amy Chen for her insider tips for healthy-looking, kissable lips.

“Exfoliate at least one a week.”
Products like Butt Naked’s Chai Lip Scrub can help to banish flakiness and dryness. Its gritty texture and coconut oil-based formula assists in achieving smooth, plump and moisturised lips.
“Hydrate with skin serum – hyaluronic acid is my go-to.”
If you’re a beauty buff, there’s a good chance you’re already familiar with this key hydrating ingredient. It’s common in a lot of face serum formulas, like Foreo’s Serum Serum Serum, and can help boost hydration levels when applied to clean, dry skin.
“DIY lip masks work wonders. I add hyaluronic acid to my lip balm and leave it on overnight.”
For deep hydration and plump lips when you wake up, remember to condition your lips before bed. Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Lip Service is formulated to protect and repair the delicate lip area, and works as a protective balm, lip primer and subtle gloss all in one.
And when it comes to applying lip colour...
“Use a nude lip liner to slightly over draw the lip line.”
Keyword: SLIGHTLY! Overdoing it won't look natural.
“Always blend the edge of the lip liner.”
Like with the rest of your makeup, blending is key to creating a natural-looking effect.
“Highlight your cupid’s bow with gloss.”
Applying glossy tinted lip balm to your cupid’s bow area will help catch the light and accentuate that pout look.
