Nothing says summer like pink lipstick

Bold and bright and everything we love – the matte neon lip (as seen at Mary Katrantzou) is this season’s party look. On the catwalk there was orange and there was fuchsia, but don’t feel limited by fashion. Never feel limited by fashion when it comes to painting your face in rainbow colours. Mix your shades to find a bright neon colour (red bases ensure warmth) that brings out your brilliance, and wear with a clean face and mascara-less eye for maximum impact.
