HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LIPSTICK

Lipstick is powerful. One swipe of a sassy shade and you’ll feel like you can do anything. So pucker up, Babellines! Let us be your hype-girl with our lipstick for any day, any occasion, and any skin tone.

  1. Monday in the Office

    Topping up lippy during business time is just another chore. And less touch-ups means more time to get things done. (Or to email your work BFF hilarious ‘that’s us’ memes).

    • Product: SuperStay 24 Color
    • Your perfect shade: For medium to dark skin, a sandy beige like Nude Thrill looks best. Pale skin? Stick to a pink tone like Nude Flush.
    • Benefits:
    - Long-lasting and easy to apply.
    - The formula isn’t cakey (unlike your 3pm treat).
    - Creamy, velvety finish that’s comfortable and totally resistant to the air-con’s moisture-sucking ways.

    Top tip: Before applying, pop a tiny bit of liquid concealer over your lips. It’ll act as a primer and make your colour last longer than your 9am meeting feels.

  2. Dinner on Wednesday

    Sushi with the girls, roast dinner with the fam, or a pizza-eating competition with your bestie. Meals plus makeup can end in carnage. 

    We’re here to help lips stay pretty in pink and low-maintenance. Except when you’re close to winning that pizza competition, no rules apply at that stage.

    • Product:Color Sensational Shaping Lip Liner and Baby Lips Moisturising Lip Gloss • Your perfect shade: Pale skin? Line with a cooler tone like Palest Pink and gloss with Pink-A-Boo. For a medium to dark skin tone, line with a warm shade like Dusty Pink, then gloss with Life’s A Peach.

    • Benefits:
    - With a soft and velvety formula, the retractable liner is super easy to use.
    - Mixed with the gloss, the liner will give your lips a fuller, more defined look while maintaining colour.
    - Say kiss-off to sticky lips, go for comfort instead.

    Top tip: When lining, colour your whole lips – not just the outside. (This isn’t 2002.)

  3. Chill-Sesh on Thursday

    Personal care should be high on your list of priorities. So light some candles, watch your favourite movie, and make sure the only thing running is a bath.

    Remember, it’s been a long week for your lips too, so don’t leave them out in your self-care routine.

    • Product:     Baby Lips Dr Rescue Lip Balm in tint-less Too Cool.
    • Your perfect shade: No shade today, thank you very much.
    • Benefits:
    - Easy to use and mega moisturising.
    - Provides eight hours of moisture while you sleep.
    - Unlike a thick cream, it won’t slip off your lips.

    Top tip:     Dip a new toothbrush in coconut oil and gently brush your lips to exfoliate before applying.
