How to choose the ideal ‘your lips but better’ lipstick shade | Sali Hughes on beauty


There are some whacky ideas about finding the right nude lipstick tone, but really it is very simple…

The mother of these is Clinique’s Black Honey, a true beauty icon that now comes in a sheer lip and cheek oil (£23.50), as well as the famous (and less shiny) Almost Lipstick(£24.50). If you’d like to steer further into the pink, Ilia Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil(pictured above, £26) in Linger is an easy win. It’s a moisturising balm squeezed on straight from the tube that lubricates and tints lips with a clear, syrupy burgundy gloss that enhances everyone’s natural skin tone.
