Is your lipstick making you look older? ROSIE GREEN reveals 7 of the best anti-ageing buys - from a £6 creamy formula to a plumper that rivals lip filler
We all know the trouble of finding a good lipstick. Some smudge the second you eat something; others are barely visible 15 minutes after application; and some go all dry and flaky, giving you the dreaded crispy bacon lips. According to YOU's beauty editor Rosie Green, the task only gets trickier as you get older. 'It's one of the cruelties of ageing that as our bottoms generally get plumper, our lips only get skinnier,' she says. 'And, to add insult to injury, their moisture levels decrease, as does their natural pinkness.' This means the need for a hardworking, hydrating lip product that delivers intense colour is more important than ever. Luckily, after three decades in the industry, Green is well placed to pick the lip products that pack a punch when it comes to infusing moisture and delivering a luscious shade. Here are seven of her favourites: from a budget £6.49 lippie perfect for dry, mature lips to a plumping gloss that gives amplified assets without the need for needles. Kiko's Smart Fusion Lipstick Green says this purse-friendly lipstick is one of the best beauty buys you can pick up for under a tenner. 'It has a creamy texture that's ideal for dry lips, and it comes in 37 flattering shades, so there's sure to be one to suit your skin tone. 'There's a reason it's a staple in many make-up artist's kits.' £6.49 Shop Plump It! Volumising Lip Plumper Lots of people worry about their lips thinning as they age, but Green has a secret weapon for securing a plump pout without reaching for filler. 'A favourite of make-up artists for temporarily (and subtly) inflating pouts, Plump It!'s Volumising Plumper is a serum that works by increasing blood circulation to the lips to boost their fullness.' 'It stings,' Green admits, 'but it really works.' £22.99 Shop Clarins Lip Oil 'I love an oil/balm/gloss hybrid,' Green says, 'and Clarins' Lip Oil is ultra nourishing with a high shine that flatters mature mouths.' 'One of my favourites shades is No 10, Plum, which is great for nailing on-trend berry lips in a softer way. It just gives a hint of berry colour without being too intense – I love it!' £22.95 Shop Lisa Eldridge Velveteen Liquid Lip Colour 'Matte lip colour looks chic and has great staying power,' Green says. 'But it can also make your mouth look smaller, which isn't flattering as you get older.' 'If you prefer a matte look, opt for formulations with a sumptuous suede texture which are less cloying and drying. One of my top picks for powering up your pout is Lisa Eldridge's Velveteen, which is silky smooth and a softer take on matte.' £21 Shop Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Looking for a gloss that looks uber natural? Rhode's Peptide Lip Treatment in strawberry glaze gives your pout a natural, youthful pinkness while also delivering a moisture hit to your skin. 'Rhode's formula is full of rejuvinating actives,' Green explains, 'which give long-lasting hydration and boos plumpness. It's created by model Hailey Bieber (who's just sold her company for a whopping $1billion), and is a huge internet hit.' £16 Shop Merit Signature Lip Matte Lightweight Lipstick Merit's Signature Lightweight Lipstick is one of Green's go-to products. When helping author Kate Mosse with a new look, she used Merit's 'beautifully pigmented lipstick' in a rich red shade, Vermillion. 'It doesn't dry the lips but it also has a matte texture, so it stays in place. I think Kate liked that it felt soft and light on her mouth.' £23 Shop

Packing secrets that fashion editors always rely on to look good on holiday
Holidays are wonderful; packing for them, less so. Unless you are one of those people who can simply throw a few pieces together and always look fabulous, then deciding what to pop in your suitcase feels like a serious challenge. Get it wrong and you could end up in all kinds of annoying scenarios: feeling underdressed when all your friends have packed all-out glam outfits. Spending your holiday absolutely freezing because you didn't check the temperature and only packed shorts and T-shirts. Or totally misreading the vibe and packing a load of party dresses when in fact you just want to chill out in tent-like garments. Of course, holidays are mainly about relaxing and having fun, but it does help to feel you're looking good too. So here the team at You magazine share their tips for packing well and putting together great holiday outfits, without tonnes of effort. Sophie Dearden-Howell, fashion director 'I always try my outfits on as I pack them. It's a little time consuming at the packing point but will save you time and energy on your on your outfits at home and then when you are on holiday there is no thinking or 'styling' yourself as it's all been done already. You are also more willing to style things you haven't styled together before if you give yourself an hour to play with it at home.' Rosie Green, associate editor (beauty) 'My holiday dressing hack isn't revolutionary but it has served me well – invest in great dresses! If they fit well and the fabric is travel-friendly you need nothing else but a pair of strappy sandals and a cardigan. Wear them to the beach, wear them to dinner, wear them shopping. They are so versatile.' Sophie Hines, lifestyle and digital editor 'If you are a bit of a clothes hoarder like me, then packing for holidays can feel quite overwhelming. That's until I hit on the hack of 'pack within a palette'. Whenever I'm going away, I pick three colours - two more neutral shades and one bright – and only pack pieces within this palette. So, for example I could choose black, beige and red, or navy, white and orange, and use this as a guideline to choose what I'm going to take. The massive benefit is that it means all the pieces can generally be mixed or matched together, and it also narrows down the overwhelm of looking at your entire wardobe and thinking 'what on earth am I going to take with me?'' Jessica Carroll, fashion stylist 'My top tip is to invest in some tarnish-free chunky gold jewellery. Hey Harper and make great pieces for quite an affordable price. It means you don't have to worry about taking it off if you go in the pool, or when you apply suncream. Layer up with some chunky hoops, some bangles, or a necklace stack - they look great alongside a black swimsuit in the day or a floaty summer dress in the evening and you instantly feel put together.' Charlotte Vossen, deputy digital editor 'My holiday wardrobe mainly consists of linen: loose trousers, oversized shirts, midi dresses – you name it and I've packed it. The only downside? No matter how neatly I've folded the items, they always come out of my suitcase looking like a crumpled-looking mess, which is why I travel with a clothes steamer. This one from Philips (£ 36.99, John Lewis) is my favourite as it's light, compact and foldable – and comes with a handy pouch to store it in.' Hope Palmer, fashion assistant 'The amount of times I've ended up with too many clothes, none of which look good together is ridiculous. Now I lean towards bringing almost exclusively white clothes, bar my swimwear, as I know a white top will go with a white trouser or shorts or skirt, and you can't go wrong with a white dress on holiday. Another plus of the full white is that you look a lot more tanned than you actually are!'
