By Eleanor ReaderWith spring comes a change in clothes, trends, beauty regimes and dreary winter attitudes. It is the perfect time to give your look a much needed boost, so in honour of the warmer months ahead we have chosen our must-have list of new lipsticks and glosses so you can easily refresh your make up look for spring.
Bobbi Brown Pro Tip: To make lip gloss and lipstick last longer, line and apply lips with lip liner before applying colour. Start by making sure that your lip pencil is the same shade as your lips. When you line, your best bet is always to follow your natural lip line. Resist the urge to draw in bigger lips – it will look fake.
