Lipsticks to See You Through Till Spring

Winter catwalks were awash with a rather diverse range of looks when it came to lipsticks. From blood reds and burgundies, through to vivid pinks and oranges and even natural beauty nudes, there really was something for everyone.

2018 sees the return of the lipstick bullet. Liquid lipsticks have been terribly on-trend for several years now, so many beauty traditionalists will be delighted to see the return to the safe and timeless lipstick. If you're wondering the colours that everyone will be wearing on their lips this spring-summer, read on!

Spring Pinks - think soft florals rather than baby pinks. If you're fair-skinned, a petal pink, such as Pacifica's Natural Lipstick in XOX, or a soft coral such as Antipodes South Pacific Coral Lipstick will work best for you, whilst medium and olive skin tones can get away with almost any shade under the sun. 

Brighter Reds - less blood and more bright, you are looking to make a fun statement for summer. Those with light hair or yellow undertones in their skin will probably prefer to opt for an orange-red lipstick, such as Pacifica Natural Lipstick in Rebel Sol, whilst those with darker hair and more pink undertones will tend to look better with a blue-red lipstick, such as Pacifica Natural Lipstick in Firebird.

Natural Nudes - natural beauty continues to be celebrated across the catwalk and in real life, but makeup is still very much a key part of mastering this look. Porcelain skinned and you should try to find a nude lipstick with pinky undertones, such as Antipodes Dusky Sound Pink Lipstick. Fair hair and/or complexion then look for rose-beige hues, such as Pacifica Natural Lipstick in Tenderness. Olive skinned and you should search out for caramel toned lipsticks to complement your skin tones, such as Antipodes Golden Bay Nectar Lipstick.
