We know how you all love a guest blogger – well today Jackie Tyson, our Celebrity makeup artist, is here to talk to you about Colordisiac Lipstick and how to get the most out of the latest shades.

Be Irresistible in Red
Confidence is one of the most irresistible qualities, and an eye-catching red lip will fill you with just that! Start by following the natural shape of your lips with a lip liner, as closely matched to the colour of the lipstick as possible.

 
Once you’ve lined, use the liner to add a little colour to the rest of the lips, this will help your lipsticks staying power. Finally fill in your lips with Colordisiac Lipstick in Red Hot Lips and watch the compliments roll in! A great trick is to blot off any excess lipstick with a tissue and re-apply straight after; this leaves you with intense colour that will be sure to turn heads.

Discover the staying power of Colordisiac!

Be Confident to Kiss
For great lipstick application it’s important to have healthy smooth lips, so I would usually suggest applying a lip balm first. However, this look can be achieved simply by using Moisture Seduction Lipstick in Fuchsia Fever. The super lipstick combines colour and moisture in one for the perfect kissable pout! Easy to apply, long lasting and a fresh look for spring; you really can’t go wrong with this one.

Remember - bold is beautiful!

Be Dazzling in Gloss
Lip gloss is a great way to make an impact with your make-up. This look is subtle with a hint of sparkle, a great way to add glamour. Simply take Glazewear Dazzle in Pink Radiance and smooth over your lips, being sure to dab away any smudges after for a perfect finish.

Be on Trend in Onyx
A dark lip is the perfect way to add drama to any look, and is bang on trend for this season. To re-create this sultry pout add a slick of Onyx Lustre Tri-Lip Gloss in Night Violet to your lips, being sure to follow the natural line of your lips and blot off any excess with a tissue.

If all you fashionistas are beginning to fret about how on earth you're going to get yourself on trend and ready for autumn and winter, panic not, I have all the advice you need!

Next season is a simple one, but unfortunately ladies, it is all geared towards those who are stuck with long locks, so for those of you who bit the bullet and went for the summer crop, you're out of luck for autumn/winter.

The top trends for 'fall', as they call it on the other side of the pond, are based around curls (every variation you can think of), the simple ponytail and basically, volume, volume, volume, oh and the fringe, that one is a red carpet hit for sure.

We'll start with curls, and every beauty provider and expert is literally raving about how curls are all over the catwalk and the red carpet.

Those of you who have yet to combat the frizz are in luck check out Advance Techniques Damage Repair 5-Day Rescue Treatment.

REMEMBER if you have a Representative it's always best to buy from them. Our Avon Representatives are very knowledgeable about Avon products and can help you choose the right ones to suit you – plus you get that personal service!

Happy styling!
