Berry-stained lips were all over the catwalks this season, and this is one trend that actually translates pretty easily to real life. You can apply this look yourself by patting matte or cream-finish lipstick into your lips with your fingertip instead of applying straight from the tube or with a brush. If you want to try this look with a new and highly covetable product, however, I have to recommend the new Giorgio Armani Lip Wax.
The product-naming department must have been on holidays the day this was named, but apart from that, this is a lovely product. Housed in a black lacquered compact with a handy mirror inside the lid, these little pots of colour come in 6 shades (nude beige, rose pink, warm brown, deep raspberry, vibrant red and deep wine). Apply them by simply pressing on the colour with your fingertip for a pretty, stained look or use a lip brush for more precision. You could even blend a small amount into the apples of your cheeks for a coordinating blush. The finished look is a matte, velvety stain of colour that looks very soft and natural and isn't at all drying.

Priced at €26, these aren't exactly cheap, but I think they're lovely and a great way of buying into one of the Autumn/Winter trends if you want to update your look a little bit! Get them from Giorgio Armani counters in Brown Thomas while they last, as they seem to be a limited edition product.
