Ever wanted to have lips so irresistibly seductive they scream to be kissed?  Scarlett, Angelina and Miranda may all have genetics to thank for their super sexy pouts, but there is still hope for us mere mortals thanks to the new range of products on offer from L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional, available exclusively at Priceline.


This winter we are going to see the trend in lips move to very strong & bold shades such as plum, berry, wine. Deep colour shades need quality products and application skills to rival the professionals.


Here, Linda Evangelista and International Make-up Artist and Designer for L’Oréal Paris, James Kaliardos offer some easy advice on using the range on how to create sublime lips that’ll get you noticed.


Check out the latest webisode of Make Me A Makeup Artist to see how our up and coming makeup artists are making the perfect pout.




A HIGHLY DEFINED LIPLINER


“The secret of a perfect contour lies in its being invisible!  To ensure this, it is important to work on the line by blending in the colour from the outline of the lips towards the middle.  The texture of the Studio Secrets Professional High Definition Lipliners is nice and slippery, and makes this gesture easy.”
- James Kaliardos, International Make-up Artist and Designer for L’Oréal Paris


The lip pencil is a studio technique with amazing power – blurred contours become precise, lips are redefined and remodeled and lipstick is prevented from running.  The one thing to ensure is that the pencil strokes are invisible… carried out in tones matching so perfectly that once the lipstick is applied the line disappears, leaving only the impression of a perfectly contoured mouth. The lead in the L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets High Definition Lipliner has an ideal affinity with the lips and easily achieves a high-precision line while the texture is soft and creamy and very comfortable to apply.  The result being perfectly defined lips.


There are 16 shades of L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Lipliner (NSP $18.95)


STAND OUT COLOUR


“So what’s the secret of appealing lips? Perfect definition and a well-chosen colour.”
- Linda Evangelista, Model


A magnificent feat achieved by L’Oréal Paris... 24 lipstick colours created to harmonise with over 30 universal lip colours!  All the lipstick shades in the Studio Secrets Professional range are classified into six colour categories within the four phenotypes: nude, coral, pink, red, plum and brown. The lipsticks are ideally pigmented for make-up with a natural to intense look.  The oils and emollient pastes are well-balanced, while a dispersive emollient agent makes the colour really stand out. 


There are 24 shades of L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Lipstick (NSP $27.95).


AN ULTRA GLOSSY FINISH


The final step to gorgeous lips is a bit of ultra glossy brilliance.  Don’t be concerned if you dislike opaque lipsticks as the gloss makes lips sublime with a totally transparent look.  Through the optical complicity of pigments and mother-of-pearl particles in L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional lacquers, your mouth will take on a new, sexy, delicious fullness.


For the first time, L’Oréal Paris has created a range of lip-glosses… also designed to harmonise with the four universal phenotypes of dark-skinned, blonde, auburn and brunette. 


There are 16 shades of L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Gloss shine Lip Lacquer (NSP $24.95).


The secret to sublime lips is just one of five secrets from the L’Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional range.  Once you know all secrets, you can create that complete look with a perfect skin surface, a uniform skin tone, a flawless complexion, glorious eyes and sublime lips.  Find your perfect match at Priceline, the exclusive stockist of this amazing new range.
