Vanity Fare: Beauty products for lips that'll make you want to kiss and tell
Whether you're after a bold statement or a barely-there sheen, these lip-loving beauty picks – think balms, stains and glosses – will have your pout prepped, polished and totally irresistible.
Instant impact
Homegrown beauty brand Bluemolly's buildable lip crayons are cosmosorganic and vegan certified, enriched with vitamin E and coconut oil.
Comfortable on the lips, perfect for layering and long-wearing, the product glides on for a matte velvet finish with instant impact.
For application, swipe once for a wash of colour, twice for full pigment.
Sumptuous lips
Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution Lipstick enhances the natural hue of your lips, making it unique to your skin tone and lip colour.
Enriched with nourishing orchid and lipstick tree (also known as the achiote tree) extracts, plus light-reflecting pigments, lips appear softer, smoother and more youthful.
Finished with an angled square tip, apply straight from the bullet for lit-from-within lips.

Repairing and conditioning
Fresh's Sugar Treat Lip Oil gives the lips nourishment infused with omega-rich oils, squalane and of course, sugar.
A glossy tinted treatment oil that delivers 24-hour hydration and fuller-looking lips with each use, its conditioning formula treats lips to a cushiony layer of non-sticky shine.
Coating lips with sheer, juicy colour, they will look and feel fuller, softer and smoother with a high-shine finish.
Available in three shades: Rose, Berry and Honey exclusively at Sephora.
Creamy satin finish
Laura Mercier's Caviar Hydra-Creme Lipstick promotes softer, healthier lips over time.
Upon usage, lips will feel hydrated instantly with a creamy satin finish, and colour that lasts all day.
One-stroke delivers high impact, full coverage colour that makes the lips look fuller and more plumped, while its smudge-proof formula provides rich, yet lightweight colour that never feels dry.
