In our August issue (page 116) we showed you the colours that are on everyone’s lips, from a safe and sexy nude to hot red and sensual pink. We chatted to beauty editor Lynette Botha about the shoot and managed to snag a few behind-the-scenes pics to show you.

 

What was your favourite moment of the shoot?

Dilys, the redhead model, is such a natural. She really knew how to work the camera and make her lips do the talking. I love the way just changing her lipstick colour transformed her for each shot, which is exactly the point we are trying to get across.

Which lipstick is your current favourite?

When I feel bold, I love M.A.C Satin in A60 Pink Nouveau, R180. It’s an eye-popping pink and takes me from drab to fab in an instant.

Top tip for long-lasting lip colour?

Fill in lips with a nude lip pencil before applying lipstick. This gives lipstick something to adhere to and make it last longer. Also, apply one coat of lipstick, blot and apply a second coat. Lastly, don’t forget to check that you don’t have any on your teeth!

Why do love lipstick? 

A slick of lipstick really can transform your look in an instant. It has the power to alter your look and your mood. A strong red screams confidence and sexiness, a soft pink makes you feel pretty and feminine, an eye-popping coral is fun and fearless….
