Step 1: Smooth

Create the perfect canvas for lip colour with a lip-prepping first step. The skin on our lips is delicate and needs a little extra TLC to stay smooth. Dry, flaky patches aren’t going to cut it when it comes to statement summer lip colour.

Start your lip routine by applying Miracle Prep Lip Scrub in circular motions, gently buffing away dry patches while infusing lips with skin-nourishing vitamin E. Remove the scrub with a warm, damp cloth before dotting on a small amount of night cream to hydrate and prep lips before colour. Leave for a few minutes to act as a lip mask, then blot off excess with tissue for the ideal base.

Step 2: Prep

Are the long, hot days of summer taking their toll on your beauty regimen? To make your lip colour melt-proof despite the rising temperatures, line lips with Colour Elixir Universal Lip Liner, tracing over your cupid’s bow and outer lip line before feathering into the centre of lips. The translucent formula is ideal for plumping lips ahead of colour, while acting like a primer, giving colour something to grip on to. The result? Lip colour that can withstand the heat without stripping away moisture. Perfect for easy holiday makeup.

Step 3: Colour

The pièce de résistance of your lip routine: Colour Elixir Lipstick. Choose from 29 complexion-brightening, intensely-pigmented shades to light up your summer makeup look. From bronze-boosting Intense Coral (perfect for enhancing a post-holiday glow) to poppy pink Pomegranate, each lipstick is enriched with conditioning ingredients to nourish delicate lips without compromising on colour.

Apply Colour Elixir Lipstick in the centre of lips first, starting at the cupid’s bow and blending colour outwards for even coverage. The smoothing and moisturising shea and aloe butters will nourish lips, while delivering bold summer colour that lasts all day.
