Dark red is a delicious lip shade which most certainly screams statement.

Simple and sophisticated – these are two words to describe this amazing statement lip look. Neon purple might seem a little frightening at first for a lip colour, but when teamed with a simple makeup look it looks incredible. For the eye makeup, simply use a thick black line with a flick. Opt for a simple base with a subtle flush of pink. Finish with bright neon lipstick.

Teal lips are most certainly classed as a statement lip. Whilst seeming like a pretty outrageous choice at first, we think you’ll agree the lady above looks pretty impressive with blue lips! Look for brands like Urban Decay or Kat Von D for your super bright lipsticks. Match the shade to a colour in your eye shadow to blend the entire look together.
