When September was still blazingly hot, makeup wasn’t an issue – who could be bothered? But now that we’re in back-to-work mode, most people require a little something. May I suggest a bold lip? Not only does it do the fundamental job of a lipstick – ie adds colour and light to the face – it’s also more joyous to wear because new formulations are chock-full of skincare ingredients. And it’s the one bit of makeup that won’t melt off your face.
