Three celebrity lip looks we're copying this season
Pinays just looove their lipsticks. Most local brands will only have one or two foundation shades, but a boatload of lip products. It just makes sense. This country is too hot and humid, so foundation, which tends to break and smear with the heat, is just an added stress. Lipstick application is easy, and playing with color is a quick way to transform your look. Let’s take a few pointers from today’s hottest celebs and break down what makes a celebrity smooch.

Nadine’s juicy pout
Nadine, even apart from James, continues to slay mightily. Her clothing, accessories, hair, and makeup are all always on point. Her eyes are pretty large, and she often understates her lips to give them proper attention. One of her go-to lips is this juicy pout.
Two key things make up this look: a nude cream lipstick and some shiny gloss applied slightly over the lip line. Going slightly over is what gives the lips that extra pouting shape, even if your lips are tiny or flat.
Cop this look by finding your perfect nude among the Avon Perfectly Matte Nudes (P399) and layering that with these local lip glosses under P600. You can also go ahead and simplify everything by just going with a color-heavy nude lacquer gloss such as the Sephora Nude Lacquer Gloss in L20 Squad Goal (P745 at Sephora PH.)

Kathryn’s sweet, tinted kiss
Kathryn and Nadine are always being compared to each other, but while Nadine is finding her way as a fashion glamazon, Kathryn has stuck to her sweet roots. Her looks are always simple yet appropriately fresh. A simple way of bringing out your inner Maria Clara is by having a go-to lip tint. Check out our P200-and-under lip tint battle for ideas!
Kathryn’s lips don’t seem to look balmy. I think it’s important to keep that product-free look if you want to truly cop this signature pout. If you have a lot of trouble with lip tints looking bad on dry lips, try to fix that situation first and get rid of that chap!

Liza’s peachy pout
Liza is another young lip idol to take notes from. While she loves playing with dramatic reds from time to time, her fresh face hits a home run when she pairs it with an equally fresh lip. In this lip look, Liza gets a peachy lip and makes it more interesting by diffusing highlighter across her cupid’s bow.
What’s peach on Liza may not look the same on you. Try to choose an orange shade that has the same depth as your own skin tone (lighter apricots for fairer skin tones, and browner oranges for deeper skin tones.) Have a peek at our pretty in peach suggestions and check which one can give you that nude-yet-blushing color.
As for the highlighter, you may use whatever shade you already have, and just apply it on a small area across the cupid’s bow. Since you’re applying it on such a tiny spot, be careful not to blend out too widely on the upper lip area! Check out our suggestions for morena-friendly highlighters at every budget.
