3. Lip
ContouringThe trend for contouring has extended to lips, with
a huge return to lipliners this season. Filling in with
a lip liner will help keep colour on your lips longer
as well as create definition. Use a matte shade to
colour over and finish with a highlighter or gloss in
the centre of the lips. Et Voilà! You have lips that
are fuller, shinier, and more illuminated. Perfect for
your bridal pictures and selfies.
By Elaine Hession, Beauty Editor
The key to wearing any lip shade is lip prep,
make sure to pop on a lip conditioner before
applying any colour. I love the new Instant
Light Lip Perfector from Clarins, you can use
it as a balm over lipstick instead of lip gloss. A
perfect base for keeping lips super hydrated
throughout the day. My favourite is the
Toffee Pink Shimmer from the new Clarins
Spring collection which smells deliciously
sweet. Available in three gorgeous colours.
€19.00.
The new burgundy lip liner from Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics
“Pinot” can be worn on its own for a sophisticated matte finish. The
most perfect colour for defining lips and bang on trend for the Spring
season. Perfect if you are going for vintage twist on your wedding
day. €18.00
Add a touch of Vamp by Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics
to polish and deepen up the look. The duo together
perfectly create the perfect pout. Enriched with vitamin E
to condition lips throughout the day.
Available from www.youngbloodirldirect.ie €22.00
Exclusive from the new limited
Noir Collection from Tom Ford
“First Time” lipstick is the
perfect bridal colour for walking
down the aisle for the very first
time. It has a perfectly velvety
matte texture and it is literally
the easiest pinky nude shade to
wear. €53.00
A touch of gloss in the middle of
the lips and to the cupid’s bow will
create a more fuller effect. I love

shiny luscious lips. €2.50

Liner by Smashbox. The colour glides on easily and actually sharpens
each time you twist to apply. Available in 16 shades to suit every lip
colour. Frenchie is a beautiful soft baby pink. €19
