Cream lipsticks

Buildable colour with a soft sheen

A cream lipstick glides on without dragging and does not dry your lips. Because you build the colour gradually, you decide whether to wear a sheer tint or a bolder shade. The range covers pink, coral and brick tones, including Ingrid Marie, Sylvia and Frida. The formula is free from talc, silicones, parabens and added fragrance.

Who cream lipsticks are for

Choose them if your lips are dry, if you prefer a natural, fresh look or if you wear lipstick every day. Compared with matte lipsticks, they give less opaque colour and more shine, so fine lines on the lips are less noticeable. You will reapply a cream lipstick after eating and drinking more often than a matte one.

A lipstick pencil, and a few tips

The Barbro cream lipstick pencil, in a warm brick shade, combines lipstick colour with the precision of a pencil, so you can outline and fill your lips in one step.

• For a sheer look, apply directly and pat in with a fingertip.
• For fuller colour, apply two layers.
• Keep your lipstick to hand for quick touch-ups during the day.
