Fashion Brief
They’re not quite lip glosses and they’re not quite lip stains – they’re called things like “paints” and “extraits”, they’re liquid lipsticks and they stay on for almost ever. Best for the bold colours, the shiny wet-look reds and fuchsias, the new liquid lipsticks are a mouth-based power move. They boast intense pigment, easy application and sometimes a bit of sun protection, and tomorrow they’ll be everywhere. Try Hourglass Liquid Lipstick (£23, net-a-porter.com) or Guerlain Rouge L’Extrait (£31.50, houseoffraser.co.uk) – it lasts for hours, and it has its own mirror, which we’ll never not be impressed by.
