During World War II, all cosmetics except for lipstick were rationed. Winston Churchill decided to keep lipstick in production because he felt it had a positive effect on morale. Needless to say, lipstick sales did well during the war!
With national lipstick day looming we headed out to find our favourite shade ►

Bronze Blow Up
Smooth and refine with Prep and Prime Lip (£12). Add a few lines of Bittersweet Pro Longwear Lip Pencil (£13.50) in the centre and blend with fingers. Apply Bronze Shimmer Frost Lipstick (£14.50) all over the lips and blend towards the centre.
