Ah, Zoom. Just when I've finally accepted my lockdown look (make-up-less and a bird's nest for hair) I'm summoned to look like "pre-Lockdown L'Oréal" to conduct interviews for articles. But it's all an illuuuuusionn, helped by lipstick so loud you don't notice my un-groomed eyebrows. And, if you're thinking I may have an affinity with one lipstick brand, in particular, you'd be right. This L'Oréal matte lipstick in 'Tasty Ruby' is a go-to for chatty meetings. It. does. not. budge. So, even for one hour, I look like me again.

I wore this lipstick for a Zoom 'happy hour' with my girlfriends to dress up my loungewear & make me feel like I was going to a happy hour IRL!

Celebrating my birthday in lockdown wasn't something that particularly filled me with joy, but the number of amazing zoom calls, quizzes and celebrations lifted my spirit. As did this coral lip, which still feels as indulgent now as it did when my sister first gifted it to me.

I popped this vinyl finish lip colour on for a random Tuesday of Zoom meetings with my colleagues - with the single purpose of making myself feel pepped for the day ahead. I mean, the shade is called 'Be Brilliant' and I think there's something in that. I will admit I couldn't stop glancing at the POP of colour coming from my Zoom screen, though.

I wore this guy (which is my favourite bright orangey-red) for a Zoom interview I was doing with some female entrepreneurs. My skin has been bad lately due to stress, so wearing a red lip is the perfect way to distract from any breakouts! The oldest makeup trick in the book.
