Make up trend how-to: merlot mouths

The recent Autumn/Winter 2009 catwalks don’t just inspire what fashions we’ll be wearing this winter (shoulder pads anyone?) but also how we’ll style our hair and glam up our makeup. Trust me in a couple of months time you’ll all be rocking these key trends. Here’s how to get velvety wine shades on lips, as seen at Christian Dior, Armani and Paul Smith.

Velvety wine shades on lips are super hot for next season. Christian Dior, Armani and Paul Smith sent their models down the runways with plums, purples and deep red lips. Here’s the teentoday.co.uk how-to guide in 4 simple steps:

1. Get a smooth base by using an old (but clean!) toothbrush to removed any flaky skin.
2. A lip liner is an essential part of the kit for creating this look. Sculpt a full, bee stung shape with the liner.
3. Then fill in the lips with matching colour to make them appear lusciously pumped up.
4. Blend with your finger to create a blurred, saturated colour.

Tools of the trade:
Bloom Lip Stain in Wine from Superdrug
