Top Trends for Lip Colour Leicester: What’s Hot This Season

In the ever-pulsating heart of beauty, lip colour remains the single most powerful tool for instant transformation. A change of shade is a change of mood and expression-a direct nod to the current style zeitgeist. The strict rules are gone, and inclusivity along with high-impact customization, is in. The trends urge your lip color not only to match up to your outfit but showcase your personality and the dynamic pace at which life in the UK moves.

The Dominant Colour Families of the Season:

1. The Elevated Neutral: Beyond Beige:

The 'nude lip' is a timeless classic, but this season the trend has elevated far beyond flat, pale beige. Focus on finding your neutral which offers definition, depth, and a subtle colour lift, perfectly tailored to the wearer's undertone.

2. The Bold Statement: Rich, Saturated Brights:

While neutrals are about sophistication, this bold trend is all about fun, fearlessness, and full saturation. Shades that instantly brighten up the face are the focus. On statement shades, the true matte finish is back in full force. It gives an indelible, high-pigment look that requires precise application but offers maximum longevity and impact.

The Art of Application – Techniques That Define the Look:

1. Precision Lining for Maximum Impact:

While the blotted lip rejects sharp lines, the statement matte and vinyl trends require obsessive precision with lip liner. Liner is no longer an afterthought; it's the structural foundation of the lip look.

Shaping and Symmetry: An expert at Salima Salon will subtly correct asymmetry with liner to give the appearance of perfect symmetry. This includes precise over-lining, drawing the liner just outside a person's natural lip line, only in areas where volume is wished for, such as the Cupid’s bow or the centre of the bottom lip.

Longevity Anchor: When the color is dark or highly pigmented, such as burgundy or deep red, one needs to fill the entire lip with the liner before applying the lipstick. This creates a waterproof base color, long-lasting and one which does not feather, so that even as the top layer fades, the color remains consistent.

2. Gradient Colour (K-Beauty Influence):

This look, hailing from Korean beauty trends, is a sophisticated take on the blotted lip: the gradient or 'popsicle stain' look.

How to do it: Apply a bright tint or stain to the inner centre of the lips only. Tap the color outward with your finger or a brush, merging it softly toward the lip line so that edges are virtually bare.

The Effect: This is a youthful, soft, and playful look which makes the lips look fresh and healthy. This works best with liquid stains or lip tints in berry or coral shades.
