This spring there's no need to pack away your dark lipsticks in favour of subtle shades or acid brights as a heavier, darker lip shade will add edge to spring's new romantic and floral trends. Lily Allen loves bold lips and has paired her ditzy floral Luella dress with deep plum lips channelling a rockier vibe for evening. And if you've already started buying into spring's lighter fabrics and nude hues (like Melissa George), then nothing looks more striking than a contrasting dark lip shade. Keep your colours matte and apply with a lipstick brush for soft and perfect look-at-me lips.
