“I have loved many lipsticks over the years, but lately, my Holy Grail formula is Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution in Pillow Talk. I love it because of the nude-pink shade that is glamorous and subtle at the same time, and it glides on so easily, leaving me with the perfect finish in a single swipe. The moment I wear it, I feel beautiful and confident.”

“The Maybelline New York SuperStay Matte Ink lipstick in the shade Ringleader has been my go-to product for nearly two-and-a-half years. It’s one colour that looks flattering and doesn’t seem overwhelming—I think it’s statement-y and understated at the same time. And I love it not just for the colour, but also because of its staying power. This lipstick does not budge... it’s probably the only one that stayed put under a face mask during the pandemic.”
