Whatever your style, here are my top tips on wearing red lippy. Find out how best to apply it, which shade works for you and my top recommended product sold here at Katie’s Style.


The Lip Gloss

Let start with a subtle option, a lipgloss is more translucent and so not such a punch of colour. You can pop on a fine layer for even more subdued colour.

Upgrade your gloss experience with patent-pending technology that breaks old lip gloss stereotypes. Glide on a nontacky and nonsticky layer of shine that makes your lip gloss options completely unlimited. This next-generation gloss glides on smoothly with no drag and delivers instant moisture, thanks in part to vitamins C and E.

The Waterproof Lipliner

Use a liner to define the lip. Help them look fuller if you want to by taking the line right up to and on top of the outline of the lip or keep it within the natural line if not. 

I use lip liner all over my lips as a matt colour, but I also fill the lip in to add to the colour of my lipstick. Did you also know that the wax in a liner helps hold your lipstick on longer too.

Kiss lip liner worries goodbye thanks to this waterproof formula that stays devoted to lips for hours. The creamy texture is always precise — thanks to the built-in sharpener — and smoothly glides along the delicate skin on lips as hyaluronic acid and vitamin E nourish and condition.

The Liquid Lipstick

A liquid lipstick is a great product that lasts ages on the lips. This product gives a vibrant colour. This has a cooler undertone to most red lipsticks.

Meet your matte with irresistible hues that glide on smoothly for a velvety finish. Now you can flaunt lips that feel as good as they look in a dreamy, matte formula that’s designed for comfort. Express your personal style with powerful colourful payoff in versatile shades. This is true colour happiness that’s truly matte and truly you!
