Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 55)

Illamasqua Beyond Lipstick, www.illamasqua.com, £2 0 “Upon application you could definitely tell this was a luxe cream lipstick as it has a balm consistency and left my lips feeling nourished with a noticeable shimmer. Plus, I didn’t have the typical drying of the lips, which I find some products cause. This lipstick is one to keep on you and reapply throughout the day for longevity.” – Danielle Harvey SHADE: DAZZLE MU LAC Velvet Ink, www.mulaccosmetics.com, £1 3.34 “Historically, matte lipsticks have been my worst enemy – being a notorious lip-biter they show up all my flaws. But it’s safe to say that this product has changed my mindset. The finish, although definitely matte, is somehow silky and smooth. The best thing about this particular shade is that it’s bold enough to look like you’ve made an effort without being OTT – the perfect lazy-girl hack! It also has incredible staying power, but that does mean you need to be careful to apply correctly the first time as it doesn’t budge!” – Beth Morton Kevyn Aucoin Unforgettable Lip Definer (£18), with Unforgettable Lipstick (£24), www.spacenk.com “The Lip Definer was easy to use, and I loved the way it looked. I put it on first thing, and by the time I went to bed it was still firmly in place, looking fabulous, even though I’d been in the rain most of the day. I had fun playing with the dual-ended pencil and brush creating a look that suited me and paired it with Unforgettable Lipstick in Legendary, but as it’s a natural shade it would work well with most colours.” – Melissa Barker SHADE: UNDRESSED WITH LEGENDARY SHADE: NICE TO MEET YA TRIED AND TESTED 81
