As seen on the S/S 2020 runways, it’s time to go bold, bright and fun when it comes to lipstick. This means full pouty lips in sultry reds, ultra-gloss smackers in candy pinks, or a matte mask-resistant finish in shades of wine or watermelon. Cheer yourself up – and anyone you’re eating out with too – with a luscious, well-defined lip.
We asked one of Hong Kong’s in-demand makeup artists, Karen Yiu, who loves to play with colour, to share her top picks and lipstick hues for summer:
Pouty reds
“I just love Guerlain’s Rouge G lipstick in Shade 25. It gives a really intense colour but is also moisturising, like a lip balm. I love the carrying cases they come in too, you can change them everyday if you have a few. I have a super glam one with lots of crystal.” The Guerlain Rouge G range is enriched with hyaluronic acid and mango butter offering moisture while making sure your perfect pout stays in place.

Dewy pinks
“I like the Japanese brand Three’s Peak Performance Lip Quad in X02 Don’t Stop Moving Limited Edition.This has a shade of pink I like for everyday looks, and both glossy and matte finishes in one palette.” Three’s Peak Performance Lip Quad consists of four different textures: a treatment base, glossy plumper, matte lip shade and a glow lip shade.

Watermelon mattes
“Popstar Cosmetics’ Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick in Badass comes in a matte formula, which means its smudge proof, works in hot temperatures, and is perfect for mask-wearing since it doesn’t transfer and rub off. I like the intensity of the lipstick shade.” A unique applicator helps in making sure that application of this vegan lipstick is smooth and long-lasting.
