The Look: Lacquered lips.
The Low-Down: A lip lacquer is part way between a lipstick and a lip gloss – it has the pigment punch of the former, and the high-shine of the latter. While it may not last as long as a traditional lippie, it has more staying power than a regular gloss. For even more lasting appeal, prime lips with a layer of lip pencil first.
The Lust-After: Maybelline Shine Seduction Glossy Lipcolor in Sensuous Ruby, $15.95 from pharmacies.
