Prada's orange lips

NYLON got the exclusive on exactly how they achieved those glossy retro orange lips. Hint: there’s a bit of drugstore mixed in there!

· Get lip balms with moisturizing ingredients: This includes petrolatum, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and dimethicone which are all good at restoring moisture. The most important thing is to use a balm that’s viscous, not waxy, so ingredients penetrate fissures. If you have chronic chapping, look for a lip treatment that contains ceramides, which help restore the skin barrier.

· What to avoid: Anyone with eczema should make sure her balm doesn’t contain lanolin. Since fragrance is the number one skin allergen, stay away from heavily scented or flavored balms; cinnamon can be particularly irritating. (Menthol actually soothes itching, though.)

If there’s one thing all of us need, it’s having “the one” right by our side…I’m talking lip gloss. For me, that means one that’s easy to apply, easy to remove, not sticky, and finishes my look. Plain and simple.

And once we have that gloss, managing it is practically a project in and of itself: Where did I put it? I hope I didn’t leave it in the car in the heat. Did I remember to put it in my coat pocket before the party? Is it almost finished? Should I buy another one? Is it time to reapply? Should I dump this color for a new one? Ah…the neurosis of it all.
