Karen Murrell predicts forthcoming lipstick trends

Soon we’ll begin to swap those shorter hemlines for tights and boots but it’s not all doom and gloom, consider trying a new season lip trend.

With a namesake natural lipstick range, Karen Murrell is perfectly poised to dish all on what to expect this AW18.

Karen predicts the cooler months will be dominated by strong berry shades. “Lipstick - 11 Scarlet Blaze and Lipstick - 19 Racy Rata are set to be this season’s top sellers”.

The lipstick guru also encourages accentuating natural features. “Enhance lips by highlighting the cupids bow, which will deliver a fuller shape.” Also, try dabbling with a metallic hue to further play it up. “You can also add a metallic accent to the cupid’s bow that doesn’t just highlight the area but makes it the focal point of a look. I love adding a little Lipstick - Princesses of the Golden Petals Haute Boheme bronze accent or Lipstick - Princesses of the Golden Petals Crown Jewel gold accent,” she adds.

It looks like the nude obsession is here to stay with the cooler months still drawing inspo from the no make-up make-up look.  “Overall, I have noticed a big increase in the popularity of nude lipsticks. We have a great selection of six nude shades and lip liners of which are all selling very strong this season.” Karen has an affinity for nude shades as they further amplify true beauty as opposed to detract. “They also subtly highlight eye colour and enhance the face - which in fact is exactly what lipstick is supposed to do!”

While not a new trend, Karen believes nude is still as current as ever and the uptake in sales reflect this. “This trend has been on an incline over the past three years but has increased 60 per cent this quarter alone.” “I love designing a great nude lipstick as it helps to amplify a woman’s true beauty without providing distraction. It also subtlety highlights eye colour and enhances the face - which in fact is exactly what lipstick is supposed to do!”

Finally, blue red and blue pink tones in matte textures are set to be all the rage - think Lipstick - 12 Rymba Rhythm and [[nid:1201551].
