Lip care routine starts with drinking lots of water. Eight glasses should be your absolute minimum: if you're exercising, the sun is out or you're in an air conditioned office, it needs to be quite a bit more than this.

To prep your lips for the color, use a damp washcloth to remove dry skin and then after that it's all down to the products you apply. To make a base for a smooth-looking color, massage a bit of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint.

If you're looking for colour, steer clear of drying lipsticks and opt for moisturising glosses or pinky lip balms instead.

To make the most of your lip color, fill in the lips with a matching lip liner and then top it off with a corresponding color. Great summer lip color duo: L'Oreal Petite Lip Liner in Coral and Maybelline Shiny-Licious lip gloss in Strawberry.
