There’s something insanely decadent about bubblegum-pink lips. Maybe it’s because it’s not meant to be sexy, like red, or flattering, like nude. Maybe it’s because it looks a bit wrong, especially when matte – a bit like a Barbie in the dark. At Michael Costello they’ve created this bold little pout with a combination of Nars lipstick pencilled over with white eyeliner, a trick that made it look even poppier. At home try a little layering, or if you’re shy, stick with a slick of pink gloss.
