The 75 days of January have finally passed, and Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Whether that means a date night with your other half, a Galentine’s catch-up or a self-care solo date, it’s a good excuse to dress up and feel good! Maybe you’ve already picked the outfit, but what about your makeup look? It’s worth remembering the makeup products you choose can enhance your look and act as another way to express yourself and your unique style. In particular, the right lip color can help lift and brighten your face and add harmony to your features and outfit! To help find your perfect lip match, we’ve given the kiss of approval to a House of Colour lip product for each of our six Clothing Personalities – whether you’re a gloss gal or lipstick is your leading lady, you’ll find a lip color to suit your style and season this Valentine’s Day.
Dramatic
Go bold or go home, right? Dramatic dressers don’t shy away from brights or statement pieces. Choose from exaggerated details like oversized collars or lapels on structured suits, or add edge to your silhouette with oversized cuts, asymmetric shapes and eye-catching prints. For your lips, something equally bold is needed to complete your look.
Your perfect match:
Spring: Melon Punch Liquid Matte Lips (LL114)
Summer: Matte Burgundy Liquid Matte Lips (LL106)
Autumn: Paprika Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG86)
Winter: Dramatic Fuchsia Lipstick (L712)
Ingenue
Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to show off your girlish side, and, as an Ingenue, you love experimenting with feminine details. Pretty tea dresses in ditsy prints can enhance your elegant style, while circle skirts or peplum tops can help to give you a classic silhouette. Keep your look structured and avoid oversized, baggy shapes and loud prints. Perfect your pout with a pink-toned lipstick or gloss.
Your perfect match:
Spring: Sweet Sorbet Liquid Matte Lips (LL121)
Summer: Soft Rose Madder Lipstick (L301)
Autumn: Sheer Coral Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG99)
Winter: Party Pink Liquid Matte Lips (LL113)
Natural
Being relaxed and comfortable is a priority for those with a Natural Clothing Personality. Think about pieces you can layer and move in easily, like tiered or knitted skirts and dresses, loose denim and unstructured jackets or coats. Pair your look with trainers or boots that will get you from A to B (with no blisters) and accessorize with brushed metal jewelry or a woven handbag made from natural materials. Your perfect lip color is a no-fuss sheer or nude – simply slick it on and go!
Your perfect match:
Spring: Sheer Pink Shimmer Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG63)
Summer: Antique Sheer Pink Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG81)
Autumn: Nearly Nude Liquid Matte Lips (LL110)
Winter: Silver Shimmer Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG95)
Romantic
What’s Valentine’s Day without a bit of romance? Luckily, Romantic Personalities can nail the perfect date night look with ease. Think sensual textures like velvet, lace, faux fur and cashmere to add a bit of luxury to your outfits. Choose skirts and dresses that drape around your body or accentuate your curves, or, if you prefer trousers, choose wide-leg styles paired with a fitted top. Sparkly accessories can add glitz and glam to your look, finished with lipstick or gloss in a sultry shade.
Your perfect match:
Spring: Strawberry Pink Shimmer Lipstick (L694)
Summer: Raspberry Sparkle Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG89)
Autumn: Deep Chestnut Lipstick (L305)
Winter: Iced Fig Lipstick (L677)
Gamine
Gamine Personalities should focus on simple silhouettes and add details to their look through accessories. Choose slim-fit trousers, shift dresses or tailored jackets, but look for pieces that have unique features or use geometric prints. Add quirky touches to your outfits through details like a beret, loafers, colorful tights or unusual jewelry. A light sweep of gloss on your lips will complete your look without overpowering your delicate features.
Your perfect match:
Spring: Brilliant Rose Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG50)
Summer: Sheer Dragonfruit Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG79)
Autumn: Champagne Shimmer Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG94)
Winter: Crystal Pink Lipshine Lip Gloss (LG73)
Classic
The Classic Clothing Personality loves clean lines and fuss-free details. In fact, the quiet luxury trend was made for you! Choose pieces in elevated fabrics like leather, silk and wool and focus on items that have a tailored finish and fit your body well. Your perfect date night look could be a satin skirt with a structured blazer for an outfit that balances tailored and fluid. For lips? There’s nothing that says ‘classic’ quite like a red lipstick.
Your perfect match:
Spring: Bright Red Lipstick (L55)
Summer: Matte Cool Red Lipstick (L307)
Autumn: Brick Lipstick (L12)
Winter: Red Alert Liquid Matte Lips (LL129)
