Statement lips lead this season's trend

Strong statements lips are set to be the key make-up trend for the next two seasons.

For years, stars such as Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera have been showing off the perfect pouts with bright colours, and now the rest of the industry is following suit.

Top make-up artist Daniel Sandler exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "This spring, strong statement lips lead the way for that 'casual glamour' look. A vibrant lipstick is not to be reserved just for the night, casual glamour is for the day or night and the trick is to keep the skin looking fresh and light so the lips can be the focus of the face. A vibrant shade such as Boots 17's Lasting Fix Lipstick in Pink Power (£4.29) will definitely make a statement but there are 20 shades to choose from - take your pick of the bright ones!"

Daniel - whose range of cosmetic brushes are available in Boots stores - also stressed the importance of applying make-up properly.

He said: "Make-up is about using colours that suit you and applying it properly. Practice makes perfect. Essential tools of the trade such as Professional makeup brushes from the Daniel Sandler range make application simple, especially my Base brush which effortlessly helps base glide on and blend easily. My top tip is to prime the base brush with a little water to speed up application and help prevent bad blending."
