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.Credit: Shutterstock

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.Credit: Imaxtree / Alessia Gammarota

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.Credit: DR
