Red and pink lips are passé. The not-so-recently-turned-chic purples and blacks are smiling back from more than just the billboards! So, what is NEW?
BLUE!
That’s right. It’s time to move beyond the tried-and-tested palette of lipsticks and think blue. Contrary to popular perception, it will beat your blues (if any) and change the way you look at blue lipsticks forever! If the gorgeous azure blue lipsticks that Alessandro Michele sent models down the Gucci Cruise 2017 runway in are anything to go by, you can expect a whole stunning range of cobalt, sky, sapphire and turquoise blue lipsticks reigning the fashion scene this nippy season. So, this cold season, beat your blues with the next big thing in beauty. You’ve got a tonne of exciting picks but to make the search less blue-sy, we’ve picked our favorite and some of the best blue lipsticks from the bunch and brought them in.
