I am afraid it is a shameful selfie (taken Valentine’s Day, how apt) but that’s all I have to go with right now.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Love Bite lipstick from the K.I.S.S.I.N.G collection quite literally fell from the lipstick tree. It is super soft and moisturising, enriched with an anti-oxidant that naturally protects lips from UV damage and pollution.
Blended with special waxes and clever light-diffusing pigments for pert, full-bodied, bold lips, it is the perfect shade of red if you only had one in your makeup bag.
It’s bright but doesn’t scream ‘look at me’, it definitely doesn’t dry out my lips and can easily go from day to night if you play around with eye makeup.
Also, it surprisingly works well applied direct to the lips rather than using a brush – although the brush gives a flawless finish, it isn’t necessarily required.
PS. I am fully aware how plastic I look. I wholeheartedly blame it on my bedroom lighting – it puts Vita Liberata to shame. The duck face? Please forgive me for that.
