Go Bold

Summer isn’t the season to shy away from bright shades. It’s an opportunity to go bold and wear the brightest of bright colours, and we have a selection of vibrant reds just waiting to be unleashed. Now’s your chance to get out those shades you weren’t brave enough to wear through the winter; maybe you didn’t want the attention, perhaps it didn’t look quite right against sunless skin, or maybe a heavier base made the lipstick look too much. Whatever the reason, make now the time to try something new.

If in Doubt, Stick to Nails

We know for some the idea of a bright red lip can be daunting, and that’s ok! Start small and choose a bright matte red nails instead — starting with toes and moving onto fingers if you’re a complete novice. Or, choose what we call a “true red” to dip your toe in (pun intended). That way, you can get used to more of a traditional red to test the waters instead of going in headfirst with a vibrant shade. From there, you can see how you feel about it before working your way up to a more orange-toned red, if you fancy it.
