COLOUR CODE
Next time you are on the hunt for a new shade, test the colour on the pad of one of your fingers. We’re all guilty of running a tester along the tops of our hand to ascertain colour but in fact this part of our body never matches the colour of our lips. Don’t get caught up with skin tone, hair and eye colour when it comes to choosing the perfect lippy – once you’ve tested and found a shade you love, just dive in and wear it with confidence.
