A collagen serum works to replenish and rejuvenate, promoting a radiant and youthful complexion.

How do you define healthy skin? A smooth and clear complexion? A plump, hydrated look? A radiant texture? Or is it all of these? What if we told you that incorporating one product into your skincare routine can get you a lot closer to healthy skin? Enter: collagen serum.
When it comes to skincare, a collagen serum is non-negotiable. Why, you ask? Before we explore why a collagen serum is a beauty staple, let’s understand what collagen is and why it is vital to maintain optimum skin health.

WHAT IS COLLAGEN?
Collagen is a protein that acts as the architectural framework for skin, imparting strength and elasticity. Over time, natural aging and external factors deplete collagen levels, leading to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles.

The need for collagen isn’t just cosmetic; it’s biological. Collagen is vital for skin health, maintaining its resilience, moisture retention, and youthful appearance. As our bodies produce less collagen with age, supplementation becomes crucial.

COLLAGEN SERUM:
A collagen serum is a concentrated formulation designed to boost collagen levels in the skin. Enriched with peptides, vitamins, and antioxidants, these serums aim to revitalize, offering a solution to combat signs of aging.

WHY DO YOU NEED A COLLAGEN SERUM?
Collagen serums target fine lines and wrinkles, promoting smoother, more youthful skin. By stimulating collagen production, these serums contribute to improved skin firmness and elasticity. Collagen, a natural moisture-retainer, helps keep the skin hydrated, enhancing its overall texture.
To integrate a collagen serum into your skincare regimen, apply a small amount to cleansed skin, allowing it to absorb before applying additional products. Consider using them both in the morning and at night for optimal results.

Celine is expanding its Haute Parfumerie line with two new launches: the Cologne Célèste bath and body collection and the Illuminations candle. The Cologne Célesté, an essential composition in perfumery reinterpreted by Hedi Slimane, as well as a collection of bath and body products that faithfully recapture the Cologne Célesté’s olfactory signature. The candle collection features the Illuminations candle, which is a tribute to incense, the most ancient and universal raw material in perfumery.

The Cologne Célèste collection pays tribute to traditional eau de cologne and its heritage. The fragrance features a blend of citrus, floral, and aromatic notes, including neroli, sweet lemon essence, angelica, and amrette butter. The collection includes:

Evoking the smoky, resinous ambience of California nights, the Illuminations candle pays homage to incense, the oldest and most widely used aromatic resin. Hedi Slimane’s memories of rock ‘n’ roll reverberating through a veil of incense inspired this captivating fragrance, which blends notes of incense, cistus labdanum, birch, and cedarwood. Housed in a faceted and block-tinted black glass holder, the candle is complemented by packaging adorned with paper resembling “grain de poudre” and embossed with a recreation of 17th-century molding. The Maison’s codes embellish the candle’s accessories, including candle snuffers, wick trimmers, and metal covers, available in polished silver or gold metal or in leather.

Both the Cologne Célèste collection and the Illuminations candle are beautifully packaged in bottles and boxes that reflect Celine’s signature style.

The Cologne Célesté and Illuminations candle are available now at CELINE boutiques and online at celine.com.

What makes Twilly d’Hermès such a compelling line? It must be the fragrances’ complementary role as a tribute to the house’s silk universe. Made up of Twilly d’Hermès, Twilly d’Hermès Eau Ginger, Twilly d’Hermès Eau Poivree, and most recently, Tutti Twilly d’Hermès, the four scents invoke the senses and encourage wearers to open themselves up to reinvention.

To find out more about what inspires the emblematic range, we look to Hermès perfumer Christine Nagel to understand how her approach to olfaction aligns with the house. “At Hermès, the beauty of raw materials lies at the core, the very heart, of every métier,” she says. “Absolute rigour in the selection of materials, the development of know-how and attention to detail are all characteristics that nourish the uniqueness of Hermès objects.”
​
Nagel elaborates: “All this is central to my decision-making. I never compromise on quality or details, even when they are invisible. Hermès gives us this unique freedom to choose our raw materials. It’s an absolute luxury that allows me to go where no one else can go. So I make the most of it and don’t restrict myself. The values of Hermès nourish my everyday work and that of my staff.”

"With Hermès’ legacy and reputation for quality and craftsmanship in mind, it’s no wonder Nagel has this unyielding approach to perfumery. That’s not to say she limits herself in the creative aspects of designing a new perfume — after all, the perfumer considers scent her life, expertise, and chosen profession that continues to fascinate and keep her on her toes to this day.
​
“I’m both curious and sensitive, so each new day brings its share of images, impressions and encounters that leave their mark on me,” she adds. “They feed my imagination and creativity continuously. I store them away in my memory and they express themselves in fragrance when the time comes to compose a new fragrance, to tell a story with scent by exploring a personal path. The main thing is to trigger an emotion, to feel and give pleasure. Eventually, there comes a point where the answers to all the questions I’ve been asking myself are distilled in the bottle. That’s when I know a fragrance is ready.

Last month, Nagel dropped the fourth addition to the Twilly d’Hermès range: Tutti Twilly d’Hermès, a scent described by aficionados as the feeling of being spontaneous and free. “Like in art, there are a thousand and one ways of painting the same portrait,” says Nagel as she delves into the creation of the scent. “The spirit, structure and imaginative world must be maintained, while still leaving one’s signature. The structure has not changed, it is no different. I start with this structure, the idea of creation, and work on it in another way. Without disrupting the codes of the original, by preserving the same balance, beautiful materials and structure, we really can create a new version.”
​
As for how she chose the right ingredients to form a scent that best expresses its ideal qualities, the perfumer gives credit to shifting perspectives. “I probably wouldn’t have distilled this promise of fascinating women if I hadn’t been able to extract new expressions from the materials,” she explains. “Some of them reveal multiple facets to me and make me want to look at the project from other angles. Ginger is undeniably one of them. To accompany the delicacy of ginger blossom and the ethereal aspect of lychee, I wanted to incorporate the enveloping character of musk. I like comparing it to a petticoat that gives body to a skirt, structures the silhouette, and adds style without being seen.”

As for how each scent in the line complements each other, it’s all down to the boldness of youth as a source of inspiration for Nagel. “As a tribute to their youthful spirit, their love of doing and undoing, of being themselves and reinventing themselves, I wanted to offer a new twist, a different expression of Twilly that reveals the timeless facet of their personalities,” she says.

Despite its influences, Nagel does not envision a fixed personality wearing Tutti Twilly d’Hermès. “The fragrance exists in itself, not in relation to its destination,” she explains. “Fragrances have no gender any more than colours, sounds and tastes do. Fragrances are works of art that exist in their own right. I do imagine, however, a vibrant and joyful personality.”
​
Now, the perfumer is approaching her 10-year mark since joining the house. “This recognition is a source of delight every day because I am living my dream, creating fragrances that uphold and embody all the values of this house,” she says. “It is a wonderful creative challenge to be part of its saga and hold a role in a house like Hermès, with the creative freedom it offers us, and to be bold and present new directions.”

When it comes to cosmetic and skin care ingredients, there are a few that we constantly hear about and we’re fully aware of what they are and what they do. Vitamin C, retinol and hyaluronic acid are a few that come to mind, but there are also a handful of elusive ingredients that make their way into products we use daily that most aren’t familiar with. 


Dimethicone is at the top of that list of ingredients — it’s in practically every skin care and hair care product, but you may not know why. Keep reading to get the 4-1-1 on this common skin care and hair care ingredient, including what dimethicone is used for in skin and hair products, plus some great beauty picks that include dimethicone. 


What Is Dimethicone?
Dimethicone is a man-made, silicone molecule that’s often found in cosmetic and personal care products due to its excellent emollient (smoothing) properties. According to the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel, it works as an anti-foaming agent, skin protectant, skin conditioning agent and hair conditioning agent. 


While there are many different forms of dimethicone, it’s often used as a spreading aid in many of your favorite creams and lotions. Topical application of dimethicone can form a protective barrier that can help to improve moisture retention, thus increasing skin hydration. That’s what gives the skin a smooth, silky feel and can help to plump fine lines and wrinkles. 


What Does Dimethicone Do for Skin?
Certain forms of dimethicone, such as dimethicone PEG or PPG, are used as emulsifiers to provide skin care products with a uniformly smooth texture. When paired with certain slip agents, dimethicone can serve as a viable solution stabilizer — in other words, it’s needed to make your products perform as intended so that you can reap their benefits. Dimethicone in skin care has benefits that may also include skin-soothing and astringent properties, according to the Journal of Wound Ostomy & Continence Nursing.


What Does Dimethicone Do for Hair?
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), dimethicone is a widely-used silicone in the hair care industry. It creates a thin, protective layer over the hair shaft which helps to enhance shine, smooth and protect the hair from abrasive actions (like tugging or blow drying) and add body to it.


The Benefits Of Dimethicone in Skin Care and Hair Care
Dimethicone is a silicone that helps to improve formulas in skin care and hair care products. Here are some of its standout benefits in both. 


1. Texture
In skin care, it aids in texture and hydration. According to a medical journal by the NCBI, dimethicone has a moisturizing effect as well as a softening effect. 


2. It Doesn’t Clog Pores
It’s also non-comedogenic, which means it won’t clog pores. This is beneficial for all skin types, but especially those with oily skin because they’re more prone to acne. 


3. It Locks in Moisture
In hair care, it aids in absorption on the hair shaft to add shine, increase strength, smooth hair and lock in hydration. 


4. Smoothing
Overall, dimethicone is a smoothing agent that helps your products perform better, it also helps to keep topical formulas lightweight and smooth.


Is Dimethicone Harmful for Skin?
According to the CIR, there is no scientific evidence to support dimethicone allergies. While people may claim to be allergic, it is more likely that another ingredient is causing the allergic reaction, like a preservative. That said, if you experience any type of irritation from your products, such as swelling, redness, hives or burning, wash the product off the affected area immediately and consult with your doctor.


Is Dimethicone Harmful for Hair?
The NCBI reveals that silicones like dimethicone can have negative effects on curly hair because they can lead to buildup, weighing down the hair and making it look heavy and greasy. So, while there may not be scientific evidence that supports the claim that dimethicone is harmful to the hair, it may not be great for your style depending on your hair type. That said, some evidence shows the opposite effect, as the silicones help coat the hair shaft, which creates less friction when you brush or comb your hair, per the CIR.


What Are Dimethicone Side Effects?
While dimethicone allergies are uncommon, side effects after topical application could include redness, swelling, hives, inflammation and burning on the application site.


Does Dimethicone Cause Hair Loss?
The CIR shares that there is no direct correlation between dimethicone and hair loss. The Journal of Investigative Dermatology reveals that dimethicone helps to smooth the hair cuticle, which can actually reduce friction and hair breakage that leads to hair loss.

The global beauty oils market – this year valued at $ 5.74 billion – is forecasted to reach $10.28 billion by the end of 2033, advancing at a CAGR of 6% over the next 10 years, per the latest study by Fact.MR.


Overtime, the beauty oils sector has undergone a significant metamorphosis, progressing from a specialized market to what analysts are calling a “worldwide phenomenon.” As more people look for safe, natural substitutes for conventional skincare products, beauty oils have become a significant industry that meets a wide range of cosmetic requirements. 


Slick Role in Skincare 
The best oils for skin are those that work as an occlusive to keep the skin hydrated or soften it in an effective manner. Because they keep the skin supple and healthy, beauty oils are frequently used in skincare regimens. Citrus oils are made from a variety of ingredients, including plants like lavender and citrus fruits like lemon, orange, mint, and peppermint.


Oils have been utilized for their skincare properties for ages in a variety of civilizations. But the beauty oils business didn't start to become well-known and receive fanfare until recently. This market has grown as a result of improvements in extraction and production methods, as well as growing consumer awareness of the value of natural components.


The traditional dominance of creams and lotions in the skincare business has been disrupted by the emergence of the beauty oils industry. These days, oils are frequently included in skincare regimens as stand-alone items or as vital components of formulas. Beauty oils are valued for their capacity to deeply penetrate the skin and provide hydration and vital nutrients without blocking pores. They are now well-liked by customers with a range of skin types, including those with sensitive and acne-prone skin.


Competitive Landscape
Businesses that produce beauty oils have made significant investments to improve the quality and inventiveness of their products with regard to ingredients, use and packaging. Major companies are concentrating on product innovation and merger and acquisition activities in order to achieve consolidation and maximize offers. These players work together with regional rivals to dominate local marketplaces.


The Beauty Activations brand accelerator project was launched by Symrise Cosmetic Ingredients in May 2022 to collaborate with North American cosmetics brands. With the collaboration between Symrise and the Beauty Activations platform, it is anticipated that brands will be provided with comprehensive marketing analytics, exclusive formulas, and a variety of award-winning ingredients.


LVMH, Natura & Co, Henkel, L'Oréal and Unilever worked together to create a mechanism for evaluating and grading the environmental effects of the cosmetics sector in September 2021.

“Skin steaming has surged in popularity recently because it’s so simple and it consistently gives results,” says cosmetic doctor Dr. Sophie Shotter. “There’s a renewed focus on achieving naturally radiant skin,” agrees A-list skin expert Sarah Chapman. “Steaming is perfect for this, since it boosts the skin’s overall health and creates a dewy glow.”

What is face steaming?
“Pores can’t actually open and close,” says facialist Debbie Thomas. “They’re always open – steam just makes them more pliable.” While extractions (the process of clearing a clogged pore) should be left to professionals, regular steaming will help melt oil and debris trapped in pores and prevent future build-up. Our experts unanimously agree that steaming five to 10 minutes maximum, two to three times per week, is ideal. “You’ll see a clearer complexion over time,” says Chapman. “[When steaming], expect to see your skin flush, whatever your complexion, as the heat increases micro-circulation, which means more oxygen and nutrients can travel to the tissues, boosting collagen and elastin production and giving a rosy glow.” The steam itself “adds instant hydration, strengthens the skin’s barrier and helps to plump and smooth out any fine lines, too”.

Does facial steaming have any benefits?
The short answer is yes! But for the long answer—including some important caveats—keep reading.

1. It may boost exfoliation.
Turns out, there may be some benefits of steaming your face for acne, but probably not for the reasons you thought. “There is a misconception that steaming the face opens your pores and unclogs them,” Caroline Robinson, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and founder of Tone Dermatology in Chicago, tells Bougeoir. “Our pores are fixed structures that do not open and close in response to changes in temperature.”

What actually happens when you expose your face to steam? The very top layer of dead skin, called the stratum corneum, softens and becomes more permeable, loosening up any oils, dirt, or acne-causing bacteria hanging out on the skin surface so it can be removed, which is a form of physical exfoliation in itself, Anthony Rossi, M.D., board-certified dermatologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, tells Bougeoir. Over-exfoliating can cause issues like redness or abrasion, but after you steam, you can use a dry cloth on your face (using circular motions) to gently continue exfoliation and remove any of that dead skin, oil, dirt, or bacteria, Dr. Rossi adds.

2. Steaming can increase your circulation.
A quick 10-minute steam is enough to get your blood flowing. “The higher temperature signals the brain to dilate your blood vessels in that area and increase circulation,” Dr. Rossi says. That increased circulation can temporarily give you a flushed (depending on your skin tone) and healthy glow. Plus, the influx of blood flow makes it easier for oxygen to circulate to your skin cells, Dr. Rossi adds. Post-steaming could also be the best time to apply a topical antioxidant serum (something containing vitamin C or vitamin E) to deliver that antioxidant boost more directly to your pores, since the skin barrier is loosened up.

3. Your skin might bask in some added hydration.
Theoretically, since you’re blasting your face with warm vaporized water, steaming can bring moisture into the skin. “Warm steaming can be used to temporarily hydrate the skin, but it can also be drying if done for too long,” Geeta Yadav, M.D., board-certified dermatologist and founder of Skin Science Dermatology, tells Bougeoir.

Because the top layer of the skin becomes softer and more permeable when it’s exposed to the steam, it’s easy for hydration to come in at first. But you can easily lose hydration from over-steaming, too, through a process called transepidermal water loss, Dr. Robinson explains. Basically, the skin’s barrier becomes “leakier” because it’s softer, and water can more easily seep out. This permeability helps with exfoliation, but experts recommend keeping your face-steaming sessions short to avoid accidentally making your skin drier. (We’ll explain just how short to keep them below.)

4. It may help your skin absorb skin-care products better.
Again, almost all potential benefits of steaming your face, including product absorption, go back to the stratum corneum softening up. This increased permeability of the top layer of your skin allows products to enter more easily. Because, as we mentioned, hydration can be lost in the process, you’ll want to replenish your skin with some seriously moisturizing products immediately after you steam. “How you treat your skin after your steam directly correlates to how hydrated your skin stays,” Dr. Yadav says.

The key is using serums with humectants, like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which draw moisture into the skin from the surface, Dr. Yadav explains. Next, you’ll want to apply a thicker moisturizer that contains ingredients that can strengthen the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss. “When the skin’s moisture barrier is weakened or damaged, the level of transepidermal water loss increases, leaving skin parched from the inside out,” she adds. Look for a moisturizer with ceramides on the label, which Dr. Yadav says act like “grout” between your skin cells to prevent water from escaping and seal in moisture. And those thicker, more hydrating moisturizer formulas will take longer for your skin to absorb, keeping your skin’s moisture barrier intact.

How to do skin steaming properly
It’s essential to cleanse your skin thoroughly before and after steaming. “Cleansing before ensures that dirt, pollution or makeup doesn’t work its way into the more receptive barrier layer,” says Thomas. “Cleansing after prevents sweat from the steam and other impurities from encouraging bacterial growth, causing breakouts or irritation.” Steaming is an active step in your regime, notes Dr. Shotter, so use a gentle cleanser to avoid irritating the skin. Try an oil-based balm to break down sebum or makeup formulas without stripping the skin. When it comes to steaming, many at-home devices use micro-fine mists to soften debris more effectively, too. “My Pro Hydro-Mist Steamer emits negatively charged steam particles,” says Chapman. “They’re attracted to the positive ions in our skin, which draw the mist deeper into the pores, so it gives better results than regular steam does.” Always position your face about 20cm away from the steamer nozzle. If you still prefer the traditional method, keep a similar distance over a bowl of hot water (105 Fahrenheit/40 Celsius is best) and cover your head and the bowl with a towel to contain the steam. As an added bonus, the moist air will help to open and clear blocked airways, too.

Should I wash my face after steaming: The short answer
This one’s easy.  In short; you should definitely be cleansing your face before steaming.  Whether you clean it afterwards too though is entirely a matter of choice. If you’re worried about all that sweat being left on your face after steaming then you can either splash your face with lukewarm water, use a toner to remove any residual sweat and dirt, or do another gentle cleanse. Generally, it’s best to cleanse your face before steaming. Cleansing your face beforehand helps remove any makeup, dirt, or impurities from the surface, allowing the steam to penetrate your pores more effectively and provide a deeper cleanse.

After steaming and cleansing a second time, you can continue with your regular skincare routine, such as applying toner, serums, and moisturizer. Just be careful not to overdo it with harsh cleansers (which can irritate skin and ultimately nix your glow) and avoid ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or alpha hydroxy acids around steaming.  The combination of heat and these strong actives can easily cause redness and dryness. Instead stick to a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. 

Is facial steaming right for you?
Chapman uses steam in nearly all her facials to hydrate, detox and clarify in one step. “If you’re concerned about signs of aging, the heat treatment also works to plump out fine lines for a smoother appearance.” According to Dr. Shotter, congested, acne-prone and dull skin will benefit most from a full steam session. However, she advises against it if you have rosacea or thread veins, or are prone to redness and flushing. “The heat can dilate the blood vessels, worsening these inflammatory conditions.”

Upgrade your skincare routine with steam
Using a serum or mask while you steam will ramp up results. Chapman recommends steaming over an exfoliating serum for a deeper cleanse, or a hyaluronic acid-based serum or mask for an extra shot of hydration. Post-steam, it’s absolutely essential to lock moisture into skin immediately. “If you leave it for longer than a minute, you’ll get evaporation, which leads to skin dehydration instead,” warns Dr. Shotter. She suggests keeping a sheet mask in the fridge to use here. “The cold helps to quickly close pores and lock in hydration.” Using a skin icing or cryo device or globes, or even a chilled face roller over a nourishing hyaluronic acid, ceramide or vitamin B5-rich serum, works just as well. “Your skin will be primed for better absorption of active ingredients, so I like to really massage my Platinum Stem Cell Elixir into skin to get the most out of the plumping and rejuvenating stem cells,” says Chapman. Whatever you apply post-steam, make sure it’s non-comedogenic (not clogging). “It will penetrate more deeply, which can otherwise cause problems with pore blockage,” says Dr. Shotter.

There are few things worse than posing for a picture in your favorite makeup look, only to realize your teeth aren’t quite the pearly whites you wish they were. A stained smile can seriously put a damper on your beauty look. While stained teeth that appear slightly yellow are very normal, it’s likely not the look you want when getting ready for work or a night out. 

Whether you’re regularly loading up on coffee, black tea or red wine, maintaining perfectly white teeth is easier said than done. It doesn’t mean you should hide your beautiful smile from the world. Look instead to a makeup staple to create the ultimate illusion of whiter teeth in seconds. 

Lipstick is a quick fix when you’re in a pinch and can’t spend hours in whitening trays or in a dentist's chair — that’s right, makeup really is magic. However, it takes the right color of lipstick to make teeth look brighter because there are colors that can make teeth look more yellow. Read on to learn what color lipstick will make teeth look whiter to make your teeth dazzle.

What Color Lipstick Will Make Teeth Look Whiter?
When your goal is a finished makeup look with a bright smile, skip warm-toned colors and opt for cool-toned lipstick shades that’ll bring out the white of your teeth. Think back to the color wheel from art class. If you’re dealing with stained teeth that look yellow (or even brown from too many cups of coffee), pick a color opposite to these shades — a.k.a purples and blues. You don’t have to eliminate pink or red colors from your collection, instead reach for cool-toned shades that’ll add a vibrancy to your lips that help make teeth appear whiter. 

And if you aren’t sure whether a shade is warm-toned or cool-toned, swatch a few lipsticks on your arm and compare the shades. Cool-toned shades will appear deeper and richer in hue than warm-toned shades that can appear bronzy, depending on the color. When in doubt, check the description of the color you’re about to buy, they sometimes note if it’s warm, neutral or cool-toned. 

Beyond the color of your lipstick, the finish can play a part in how your teeth look. Be wary of lipsticks with lots of shimmers, especially ones with silver reflects, as they can make your teeth look dull. On the other hand, one of our favorite finishes for a bright smile is a slight gloss that adds a wet sheen which creates an illusion of whiter teeth. 

8 Lipstick Colors for a Brighter-Looking Smile
If you want a dedicated lip colour that’ll help your teeth look white, try one of the below eight colours.

1. Blue-Based Red
Red lipstick is the one shade that everyone should have in their makeup collection. It’s a universal color with many tone varieties that work for any season and on any skin tone. While there are few makeup products more iconic than red lipstick, there’s a fine line between red lipstick to make teeth look whiter and one that causes your teeth to resemble a not-so-bright hue. Reach for a blue-based red similar to the color of a shiny red apple and stay away from any orange-based shades. Colors like brick red and fiery scarlets have warm undertones that may bring out the yellow hues in stained teeth. 

2. Nude
There’s no denying the beauty of a nude lip color as it’s the perfect shade for just about any occasion. It’s truly a versatile color that you can sport day-to-day or pair with a smoky eye for a night out on the town. In order to boost the brightness of your pearly whites, steer clear of nude shades with warm undertones like caramels and peachy beiges that can cause your teeth to appear more yellow. Instead, try nudes with a tinge of pink, mauve or cool-toned beige.

3. Fruit Punch
Somewhere between a cool-toned red and a deep pinkish hue is fruit punch lipstick. The shade mimics that natural stain you get on your lips when you overindulge in a sweet drink or eat a cherry-flavored ice pop. You can enjoy this summertime color any time of the year (and without staining any skin around your lips) by intentionally applying this shade that will give your chompers a brighter shine. 

4. Berry
If you’re a fan of dark, bold lipstick shades, don’t think you have to wait until winter to pull out those deep hues. Pick up berry colours similar to mashed blueberries or blackberries over warm-toned shades like the colour of strawberries. The purple-blue base of these berry lip colors will balance out any staining on your pearly whites. 

Don’t forget to try cool-toned lip colors with a little shine to give the illusion of whiter teeth. For a subtle berry color that dazzles.

5. Violet
A cool-toned purple has the right undertones to make the yellow hues in your teeth appear muted, allowing your pearlies to shine bright. This shade differs from berry tones for its electric neon hue that makes a statement.

6. Cool-Toned Pink
There are endless pink lipstick colors to choose from, but the right shade will be necessary to neutralize yellow tones in your teeth. For those daytime makeup looks where you want something a little more popping than a pinky nude, or nights out when you aren’t feeling an extremely bold lip color, try a cool-toned pink lipstick. 

7. Vampy Burgundy
Flashback to 2016 when the unofficial color of the year was a dark oxblood red that gave fall vibes year round. This color was a lasting color in cosmetics for a good reason and it has everything to do with its dark flirty hue. Swipe on this deep shade that’ll have you showing off your pearly teeth with a vampy grin. Embrace this never-ending lip trend by contouring your pout.

8. Blue
Once you start wearing bold lip colors you’ll never want to go back. Get adventurous with a trendy blue lip color that will help your teeth appear whiter and brighter. Not only is it a fun way to experiment with your makeup, but it’s also the perfect color to make your smile bright and showcase your pearly whites. Whether you choose to go for a brighter or deeper blue.
