#  The Best Products For A Soft-Focus Lip  


Soft and effortless, blurred lips are the low-maintenance beauty trend we’re seeing everywhere right now. These are the products you need to get that faded, just-been-kissed effect…

## For An Ultra-Comfortable Matte 



#### Generation G Matte Lipstick, £20 | Glossier 



 

So many mattes fall short on comfort. This is the outlier. It has a creamy, cushiony consistency that makes your lips feel supple and natural. Inspired by the pro trick of blotting your lipstick, it gives you that gently diffused look in a single swipe. For best results, gently buff your lips with a scrub to get rid of any uneven texture beforehand. Our favourite shade is ‘Cake’, the most flattering tawny peach.

## For Subtle Definition 



#### Signature Lip Sheer Lip Liner, £21 | Merit Beauty 



 

Cool-girl label Merit can do no wrong in our eyes, and its reimagining of lip liner has our vote. Favouring soft, blurred edges over that traditionally sharper outline, the formula is unlike any other we’ve tried. Thanks to hydrating jojoba, it’s unexpectedly balmy, meaning it glides really smoothly with zero dragging. It can also be used to enhance your natural lip shape, but in a way that feels subtle and seamless.

*Available at* [SEPHORA.CO.UK](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=22773&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sephora.co.uk%2Fp%2Fmerit-beauty-signature-lip-sheer-lip-liner-0.3g)

## For French-Girl Appeal 



#### Bisou Balm, £30 | Violette\_FR 



 

Violette’s Bisou Balm is the ideal low-maintenance lip. Velvety, sheer and yet comfortable, it’s your fast-track to achieving the quintessential French-girl look. It has that just-been-kissed haziness, and the no-mirror-necessary application is a game-changer on the go. ‘Mon Chéri’ – a pretty cherry-chocolate shade – is our current obsession. If you’re after some colour but usually shy away from anything too bold, this is such an easy entry-level red.

*Available at* [VIOLETTEFR.COM](http://violettefr.com/en-gb/products/bisou-balm-mon-cheri?srsltid=AfmBOooL2yeKjMH6xGw55vOJC7C2pNX9PXgMPu7lKDZM8ZRgQ_NTneEI)

## For Affordable Staying Power 



#### Teddy Tint Lipstick, £11.99 | Maybelline 



 

Maybelline’s latest launch is a total winner. Make this your new go-to if you’re after something soft and pretty, but with longer wear than a balm formula. This makes your lips look smooth and plump, but doesn’t strip them of moisture – they still feel flexible and hydrated. Apply it with the doe foot applicator, and soften the edges with a lip brush.

*Available at* [BOOTS.COM](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fmaybelline-teddy-tint-lipstick-10358974%3Fsrc%3Dbasket%26id%3D10358974002)

## For A Hype-Worthy Hit 



#### Peptide Lip Shape, £24 | Rhode 



 

Rhode’s much-hyped Lip Shape has now made it into our everyday rotation. Full of skin-plumping peptides, it’s ultra-comfortable and gives your lips a slight sheen. The shade range is gorgeous and seriously wearable – think ‘your lips but better’, for all skin tones. Note that it performs best as a slimline lipstick rather than a liner – the thicker tip means it’s better for all-over colour than contouring. But that makes no odds, it’s still excellent.

## For Buildable Pigment 



#### Velvet Blur Matte Lipstick Balm, £36 | Simihaze Beauty 



 

Housed in offbeat, playful casing, this lipstick is a sensorial delight. Application is easy and instinctive with the domed tip – it lends itself perfectly to a blurred effect because it’s less precise than a traditional bullet. Velvety and highly pigmented, it can be built up into something more statement, or patted on with your fingertips for a lighter flush of colour.
