After years of neutral chic, this autumn screams sophistication with a capital S, with strong shades of pink, gold, grey, black, plum and red, and sophisticated beauty mixed with a rock’n'roll feel.
Dark, captivating and mysterious, black is this season’s colour.

Smoky eyes combined with a flawless complexion and shiny lips create a sophisticated rock look.
Dramatic black is powerfully glam, and though easy to use it does precise application and some carefully chosen shades of grey to soften it. Bring out your dark side!

Having a perfect mouth will give you the option to not use a pencil to line your lips and just follow your natural lip line instead. Brushing your lipstick (using a brush or a wand) will be enough. If you desire to have an upper lip that looks protruding, do it with a highlighter or a lighter foundation to make the light reflect thus, making your lip look more protruding.
