The only red lipstick I’d wear

I’ve always adored red lipstick. It’s such an empowering colour and extremely chic and seductive. It says you’re someone to be reckoned. But as much as I adore it….

Red lipstick has never suited me

The full-lipped goddesses can carry it off and look magnificent, but for those of us with smaller lips, it’s more of a challenge. It can make lips look thinner and give quite a severe look. And so I’ve always steered clear of it, until now.

I’ve finally found a red I can wear

Of course it had to be Studio 10 who would create a flattering red for everyone! And as ever with Studio 10, who know how to flatter a mature face more than anyone, it’s all down to texture as much as colour.

They’ve added a red called Poppy to their fab Wake Up & Glow Lip & Cheek Tint range.

It’s not a solid colour and it’s not matte

These two things are crucial to give a more luscious effect. And you can build the colour up. A quick swipe and you have a red hue in a lovely dewy finish. Add a bit more and the colour intensifies. As with all the Lip & Cheek range, it also has an inner circle of hyaluronic acid running through it to hydrate and treat the lips and cheeks. And it works brilliantly as a cheek tint too.

I have, of course, added it to the Ageless shop where you can check it out:

In the video below, you can see the colour for yourself and see what I mean about it being so much more wearable  because of the texture.
