Your Herts and Beds Wedding - February / March 2021 (Issue 84)

PUCKER UP The CWM team put the latest lip shades to the test W7 Velvet Luxe Lipstick, www.w7makeup.co.uk, £4 “With a creamy matte texture this lippy is comfortable to wear and doesn’t transfer. Long-lasting it stays in place through coffees and snacks, but could probably do with a little top up after lunch. Plus, She’s a Lady is a super-feminine girly pink, lovely for a rosy bride look. Incredible value for money, it’s a great staple for your make-up bag. Why not try all the colours?” – Kelly Andrews Dear Dahlia Paradise Dream Velvet Lip Mousse, www.feelunique.com, £2 5 “After using a tint for the first time I’m a convert! This colour was divine, and what I like is that you can layer it up and build the tone to your desired effect; soft subtle pink by day and a deep red by night. It lasted all day after drinking and eating, and even stayed on when I applied a balm over the top. A must-have for your make-up bag.” – Danielle Harvey Milani Bold Colour Statement Matte Lipstick, www.milanimakeup.co.uk, £1 0 “This handbag must-have goes on like a dream and certainly lived up to its name. The wonderfully lush creamy formula glides on smoothly and stays on without flaking, making me feel fabulous all day! It left my lips feeling soft and smooth too – win, win!” – Sarah Reeve Too Faced Melted Matte Liquified Long-Wear Lipstick, www.toofaced.co.uk, £2 0 “Straight away, I loved the sturdy packaging and precise applicator. The lightweight formula has fantastic pigmentation and the product has a matte finish. There’s no cracking or bleeding because of the avocado oil, vitamin E, and hyaluronic filling spheres, which I’m very thankful for as there’s nothing I hate more than dry lips! The beautiful shade lasted hours on my lips and I got compliments all day when I wore it!” – Olivia Gibson SHADE: LADYBIRD SHADE: POPPIN’ CORKS SHADE: I AM FABULOUS SHADE: SHE’S A LADY 76
