Which lipstick is best for kissing?
We all know that kissing and lipstick can have it’s issues, you may not like it when your lipstick transfers and ends up being worn by the other person, or maybe you’re more concerned with making sure your lips are in the best possible condition! Here are my tips for what lipsticks to reach for when you know romance is on the cards.
For transfer proof colour the best option is without a doubt the retromatte liquid lip colours, these lip colours are non-flaking, non-feathering, non-bleeding, non-caking and great for when you want to wear bold colour that stays on your lips and not theirs. Feels So Grand is the ulitimate ‘Date night Red’. The aptly named ‘Love Me’ lipsticks are the ultimate lipstick if you want your lips to look and feel their best. Super luxurious yet lightweight, these lipsticks glide over the lips coating them in powerful colour and a hugging feel of argan oil and specialised waxes. They feel like nothing on, so be careful of those bolder shades like Nine Lives, you could forget they are there!
PRO TIP:
It's so important to take the best care of your lips when wearing any lipstick, and especially when you know you will be kissing! Lip Scrubtious lip scrub in Sweet Vanilla is a sugar based exfoliator that gently buffs away dry skin leaving lips smooth and nourished. Add an extra dose of extreme hydration with Lip Conditioner that will impart a soft shine and lock in moisture. No lip care routine would be complete without Prep + Prime Lip, this colourless lipstick base not only improves the overall look of your lip products but acts like Velcro to lip products keeping them on for longer whilst feeling more comfortable.
