Dior Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Lipstick

Dior Rouge



“Anyone who knows me knows I love a red lipstick. At the moment my favourite is the Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge. It’s both highly-pigmented and moisturising with a semi-matte finish, and best of all, it lasts all day.” - Jamie Adams, Buyer 


Dior Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge, £30

 

La Mer The Lip Balm

La Mer The Lip Balm



“During winter I always keep this balm to hand as it’s the best product for combating dry lips. It contains La Mer’s nutrient-rich miracle broth which hydrates and strengthens their protective barrier. If I’m wearing a lipstick in the evening, it keeps the colour long-lasting too.” - Sarah Thompson, Buyer


La Mer The Lip Balm, £18

 

Urban Decay Hi-Fi Shine Lipgloss

Urban Decay Lipgloss

 

“This lip gloss only launched recently, but it’s quickly become a go-to in my makeup bag. The hydrating, glossy formula gives the famous Urban Decay Naked range a new spin. I like to swipe this over the top of any nude lipstick to instantly plump and nourish my lips." - Eleanor Spain, Assistant Buyer

Urban Decay Hi-Fi Shine Lipgloss, £15.50

 

YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick

YSL lipstick

 

“As a busy mum I don’t have a lot of time to put my makeup on. This lipstick gives more colour than a tinted balm, but it’s not heavy enough that I need a mirror to apply it. The best bit is that once it’s finished you can use the case to make a ring (loads of beauty bloggers are doing it!)” - Georgia-May Dayton, Brand Partnerships Manager


YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipsticks, £30.00

 

Giorgio Armani Rouge d'Armani Matte Lipstick

Kiehls

 

"I thought a genuinely hydrating and long-lasting matte lipstick was a myth until I was introduced to this gem by Giorgio Armani. I'm a little bit lipstick obsessed and it's a game changer. I wear the shade 102 for a deep nude or 400 for a classic red." - Hollie Brotherton, Content Editor


Giorgio Armani Rouge d'Armani Matte Lipstick, £30

 

Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy Matte Lipstick

Estée Lauder

 

"“I like my lipsticks to be as low maintenance as possible, so this offering from Estée Lauder is a firm favourite. Long-lasting and durable, it blends easily and gives a lovely smudged finish, which means you don’t have to constantly keep reapplying. ‘Irrepressible’ is my go-to night out vampy red, and I love the dark, pink-tinged rouge of ‘Unattainable’ for winter days.” - Hannah Dunn, Editorial Manager


Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy Matte Lipstick, £27
