1/6
The raspberry lips of Natalie Portman
The raspberry is an intense but easy to wear pink. Adopt the “just-been-kissed” technique to apply, depositing the colour on the inside moving outwards, for more intensity in the inner lip.

The pro’s tip: Do not try to coordinate the colour of the lips and the foundation. Opt instead for a blush in warm colours like peach or rose wood.

3/6
Runway-style Malabar lips
Malabar pink is the latest trend of the spring-summer fashion shows. This cold version of pink, slightly bleached, however, is not easy to wear. Two options – wear it like you mean it, or wear a lighter texture more like lip gloss or moisturizing lipstick, focusing on the shine.
The Pro’s Tip
Mix your cold pink with a small drop of the facial product you use for your complexion (foundation, BBcream, etc…) to soften and make the colour slightly warmer.

Grace Kelly’s signature nude
This medium pink is ideal when you want to wear a colour with the appearance of natural lips, while providing the intensity. Work the lips with either a matte lipstick, for intensity, or a gloss for a more nude look.
The Pro’s Tip
Add some transparent gloss on matte lipstick, if it looks too harsh on your face or skin tone.
