As well as going bold, this spring we have a soft spot for warm, caramel lips. As always, a quick flick through the latest A-list pics reveals several of-the-moment options for wearing this flattering look. If you want a very elegant, polished look for day or night, pair a deep, matte caramel with a mushroom eyeshadow like Keira. Or go ultra-glossy like Victoria Beckham who has glamour in her DNA. For a pretty, understated version, choose a warm toffee-caramel and dab it onto well-prepped lips (read: plenty of buffing and balm). Blot, add more balm and dab again, repeating till you get plenty of plumpness and just the intensity you like.
Celebrity make-up artist Daniel Sandler says, “For a flattering finish, choose a shade that for fair skins has peach undertones and for warm skins has pink undertones.”
