The SS/23 aesthetic is all about a fresh face and a spotlight-stealing berry lip. If you want to make a subtle statement with your look this season, a berry-red lip packs a serious punch with little effort.
Rich berry lips and pops of red featured across the catwalks of Fashion Weeks this year, from Balenciaga and Schiaparelli to Saint Laurent. Bold lips are here for the long haul- withstanding the autumn and winter months and staying with us right through the summer, thanks in part to the revival of 90’s glamour.
There’s a certain power behind a bold lip. It exudes confidence which is exactly what Up Cosmetics had in mind when creating Berry Red.
Berry Red (RRP €20) from Up Cosmetics is a rich, deep berry shade offering an edgier take on a classic red lip. This beautiful satin-finish, buildable, moisturising lipstick is comfortable for all-day wear.
For a more classic red, Siren (RRP €20) is a bright red matte lipstick, rich in pigment with a comfortable and moisturising, long-wear formula.
Pro Make Up Artist and Up Cosmetics Ambassador Hayley Coleman offers her top tips for creating the perfect red lip:
“I always prep my lips during my skincare when I want to create that perfect red lip. Using a lip balm will ensure your lips are hydrated and smooth but make sure to blot away any excess product from the lips before you apply your lipstick to prevent the colour from smudging.
Apply a lip liner of your choice before applying your lipstick, or use a small angled brush to create a clean, precise, long-lasting red. After applying, blot away excess onto a tissue and rock that berry red lip!”
