This is a great all-nighter lipstick, so you won\u2019t have to worry about topping up too much. This lipstick is perfect for darker skin tones, paired with some gentle contouring and simple eye make-up.<\/p>\n

You can grab this for just \u00a37.99 in Superdrug,\u00a0and with 3 for 2 on lipsticks, why not jump on the lippy bandwagon?<\/p>\n

TOP TIP:<\/strong> To check how a lipstick colour will look on you, use the skin in between your thumb and palm to test. This will be a closer match to your face than using the back of your hand.<\/p>\n

TOP TIP:<\/strong> Try outlining the Cupid\u2019s bow with a white lip liner to add ‘two tone’ to your lips.<\/p>\n
