20s
In your twenties your lips are at their fullest
so you can wear sheer, shiny, bright lip colors.
30s
Switch to lip stain and long-wearing
formulas. They require minimal touch-ups and are a low-maintenance way to wear
colors that pop.
40s
Look for formulas that are sheet and
creamy. They illuminate your face and moisturize lips without a sticky, tacky
finish.
50s
To rock a bold lip in your fifties, stick
to nourishing formulas with anti-ageing benefits.
60s
To look ultra-chic and confident, wear a
stand-out color with a long-lasting and creamy formula.

How to make your lipstick last longer
- Lippy holds on best to a smooth surface
so prep your lips with an exfoliate and balm. Finish with a translucent
powder for extra hold
- Use a lip liner to lightly trace your
pout, then diffuse edges with a cotton tip. This prevents color bleeding
into fine lines around lips.
- Use a lip brush to fill in your pout.
Using a lip brush not only makes lips look hot, you’ll get more
applications out of your lippy.
- Personalize your pout. For lush Angelina
Jolie lips slightly over-trace your Cupid’s bows with a lip liner and
finish with a gloss. For a petite pout, cover with concealer and apply
lipstick without liner.
