SIREN RED
Studio 54 regulars Jerry Hall, Marie Helvin and Angelica Huston were rarely seen without scarlet lips with a vinyl effect. The new NARS Velvet Lip Glide marries the effortlessness of a lip gloss with the coverage of a lipstick for a creamy finish. Try it in Mineshaft, a poppy red that adds warmth to paler complexions, or No. 54, a flattering shade on virtually every skin tone.

UNDERSTATED NUDE
The perfect bare-lip look takes prep work. Us a a gentle scrub followed by a conditioning balm for soft and smooth lips. NARS’ Oil Infusion Complex also helps ensure a smooth glide so lips stay hydrated and comfortable. Stripped is a creamy beige pink shade that works well on yellow undertones, while Unlaced has a slightly rosy tint to complement those with pink undertones.

EFFORTLESSLY PLUM
Beyond a liquid lip colour, the Velvet Lip Glide also doubles up as a handy lip stain. Blend foundation over lips to create a muted base. This keeps touch-ups to a minimum as it prevents the colour from sliding. Next, dab Velvet Lip Glide in Toy on the centre of your lips, blending outwards to the edges of lips for a just-bitten effect.
