Choosing a lipstick comes down to finish, feel and shade. High-shine gloss adds fullness and light, perfect for brilliant day looks and fresh-faced evenings. A satin or cream finish gives vibrant colour, comfortable enough to wear all day. Matte formulas deliver bold pigment and staying power, ideal for photos, events and long nights out. No matter the finish, our moisturising formulas suit even drier lips; hydrating and nourishing with ingredients like hyaluronic acid that bind moisture while you wear them.
Shade-wise, think about undertone. Cool skin tones tend to glow in berries, blue-based reds and rosy pinks. Warm tones come alive in corals, peaches and brick reds. Neutral tones have the run of the range. If you're new to colour, a shade one or two steps deeper than your natural lip is the easiest place to start and almost always flattering.
Lips Questions Answered
Which Mii lipstick lasts the longest?
Our matte formulas give the strongest staying power, holding colour through meals, coffees and busy days. Cream and satin finishes offer lovely wear with a comfortable feel, and will usually need a light refresh after eating. For maximum longevity with any formula, start with a lip liner across the whole lip.
Are Mii lipsticks suitable for dry lips?
Absolutely. Our moisturising and hydrating formulas are packed with ingredients that soften and condition while you wear. If your lips are particularly dry, exfoliate gently each night and apply a rich lip balm overnight and first thing in the morning. By the time you're doing your makeup, your lips are prepped and ready.
How do I choose a lip colour to suit my skin tone?
Cool undertones (pink or blue hints in the skin) flatter berries, blue-reds and rosy pinks. Warm undertones (peachy or golden) glow in corals, warm nudes and brick reds. Neutral undertones suit most shades. If in doubt, a muted rose or warm nude a shade or two deeper than your natural lip is universally flattering.
Do your lipsticks contain SPF?
Our lip formulas focus on colour, comfort and care. For sunny days and time outdoors, we recommend wearing a lip balm with SPF underneath your chosen Mii shade. This gives you the finish you want with the protection your lips deserve.
Can I wear a lip liner with all your formulas?
Yes, and we'd almost always recommend it. Lining your lips before applying colour gives a cleaner edge, helps prevent bleed and feathering, and extends wear time significantly. For a fuller look, line on (not over) your natural lip line; for a softer finish, line just inside and blend with your fingertip.
