Lips

Lipsticks, glosses, liners, stains, tinted balms and plain lip care. Cold wind and dry indoor air hit lips first, so a good balm is as much a part of this department as colour: look for occlusives such as petrolatum, shea or lanolin rather than flavoured balms you keep reapplying.

What to look for: a satin or cream finish if your lips get dry, matte formulas over a balm base, a liner one shade deeper than your lips to stop feathering, and a balm with SPF (carrying a DIN or NPN) for sunny days and ski hills. Exfoliate gently only when lips are not cracked.
