Dior’s lip looks – Autumn 2013
Dior has released a line of lip-glosses so sparkly, you’ll be hard-pressed fading into the autumn browns around you. Read their expert tips on how to achieve their four signature looks of the season.

DIABLOTINE LOOK 

Something much more avant-garde and special, the Diablotine is for the girl who wants to stand out and experiment with colour. It’s all four shades of lipsticks – with Diablotine dapped on the center of the bottom lip. This keeps the lips comfortable while still achieving a high shine.

How to:

Prep lips with a lip balm/conditioner to create a perfectly moist palette. On half of the top lip on your right, apply Diablotine lipstick On the left half apply Delice lipstick. On half of the bottom lip on your right – apply Princess lipstick. On the left half– apply Spring Ball lipstick On bottom lip, apply Diablotine lipgloss.

PRINCESS LOOK

The Princess is for those wanting to show off dimension and depth. Using the red shade of pencil on the outer end of the lip while keeping a gradation of colors to pink, then a peachy shade at the centre, makes the lips appear fuller and creates a contrasted effect. A rich application of gloss makes them pop even more.

How to:

Prep lips with a lip balm/conditioner to create a perfectly moist palette. Using a red lip pencil, completely line and fill the lips, leaving the centre of both the top and bottom bare. On top, layer Princess lipstick. For a 3D effect, apply Delice lip gloss to the inner center of top/bottom lip, then press lips together to blend.

DELICE LOOK 

Use two different semi-monochromatic shades for the top and bottom lip. On the top, I used a brighter shade with a softer, muted neutral on the bottom. A rich gloss application ties the look together for a sexy feel.

How to:

Prep lips with a lip balm/conditioner to create a perfectly moist palette. On the top lip, apply Delice lipstick. On the bottom lip, apply Spring Ball lipstick. On the top lip, apply Delice lip-gloss. Finish by applying Spring Ball lip gloss to the bottom lip.

SPRING BALL LOOK 

Treat it similarly to the Princess look, but instead of using red lip pencil, use a pink. The colour in the centre adds both highlight and contrast. Dab a little gloss on the bottom lip only. This makes the gloss very wearable and less textured for added comfort.

How to:

Prep lips with a lip balm/conditioner to create a perfectly moist palette. Using a pink lip pencil, completely line and fill the lips, leaving the centre of both the top and bottom bare. On top, layer Delice lipstick. For a 3D effect, apply Spring Ball lip gloss to the centre of bottom lip.
