The sultrier cousin of the pink lipstick and an off-duty counterpart to classic red, the rose lipstick is the shade you should rock if you want to be assertive, yet not come on too strong. The rosy hue also instantly brightens up just about every skin tone instantly – that, coupled with the appearance of just-bitten lips will have you looking fresh, energetic and ethereal. From matte to glossy finishes, here are 10 to try:
This gives a non-drying matte finish and is formulated with camellia, mango seed, avocado and cotton seed oils to keep lips feeling nourished and soft too.
