“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” — Gwyneth Paltrow

Lipstick has the amazing transformative power of being able to change women’s moods drastically, in a positive way of course. Thanks to all the shades of lipstick being displayed on this year’s runway, we all now know the impact of bold lips upon the overall appearance of a woman, and how different shades of lip colour can be used to add elements of drama to her ensemble.

Read on to find out how you can switch up your look, all with just a tube of lipstick.

Day look: Light pink for the career woman:

A natural look is best for the daytime, and what could look more natural than pastel pink lips? Unless you’re attending a day-time event which requires you to don a slightly bolder look, a nude lippie paired with lightly done eyes and prominent brow is the look a beauty belle needs.

Afternoon look: Pastel purple for an afternoon high tea

As the day progresses, it’s fine to switch up your look a bit, and feature slightly bolder lips. Don’t shy away from experimenting with darker hues as the start contrast between your complexion and the lip colour can make your face look livelier. Remember to turn down your eyes so that your lips can have more airtime.

Evening look: Enchantress goes for a romantic dinner

It’s time to transform yourself into a femme fatale. Darken your eyes with a black liner, and apply a few coats of voluminizing mascara. Only one colour can do justice to the occasion-deep, scarlet red. Pile up your hair into a bun in order to draw attention towards your makeup.
