PAINT WASH LIP COLOUR IN FUCHSIA
Make a statement and paint your pout with this deep berry hue, The formula applies like liquid but quickly dries to a creamy, long-lasting pop of colour – a new clutch bag essential. Mauve Dhs130 Laura Mercier
DOLCE MATTE LIPSTICK IN LOVER
Meet Dolce’s new red. Rich, matte and with a hint of raspberry, this bold shade looks best paired with a swipe of mascara and just-back-from-the-beach skin. For an extra flush, blend a touch on the apples of your cheeks. 624 Dhs160 Dolce & Gabanna
LIPSTICK IN FLARE
A vibrant tangerine lip set against dewy, sun-kissed skin is one of our favourite summer beauty couplings. This creamy, citrus-toned lipstick especially suits darker skins, adding instant interest to a simple look. Cardinal rule? Keep the rest of your make-up natural. Dhs125 Illamasqua
