The Nude Lipstick I’ll Be Wearing All Summer Long

I’ve made it known that I basically feel naked without lip color. Even though I’ve been leaning fairly heavily into my cat-eye for the summer, I still need a little something-something to bring color to my lips and round out my entire beauty look. But what does that perfect color look like?

Well, it’s a little pink, slightly dusty, totally matte, and gives my lips a major dose of hydration. Basically, it’s exactly what Tarte’s Lippie Lingerie in Pure delivers. I’ve been swiping this stuff on since the temperature passed 60 degrees, because unlike my other lipstick shades, it feels completely light. Actually, it’s no heavier than a lip balm. And it’s infused with a refreshing mint that is perfect for a midday pick-me-up.

Still, the real draw of this tube is the color payoff and ease of use. I always love to use a pencil over a tube for lip color, because it’s so simple to just swipe and go. But Tarte’s formula does one better: Once you wear down the tip of the pigment, all you have to do is twist the bottom to reveal more — no messy sharpener needed.

And one swipe is all you need to deliver full coverage that lasts — although this lip tint makes your pout feel so damn good, you may find yourself wanting to keep reapplying. Bonus: It’s vegan-friendly!

Lippie Lingerie comes in eight different shades (a wide range of nudes), and I’m looking forward to trying them all. Consider these the LBDs of your summer lip wardrobe. You can’t have just one.

Tarte Lippie Lingerie Matte Tint in Pure, $24, available at Tarte.

A fashion student believes she has solved the problem of visible panty lines thanks to hi-tech underwear made on a 3D printer.

Jess Haughton, 23, who is studying fashion design at Nottingham Trent University, has come up with a more discreet alternative to bulky stitching by crafting lingerie out of silicone.

The undergraduate, originally from Ruislip, Greater London, created the VPL-eradicating design during the course of her degree.

Jess said: ‘Women come in all shapes and sizes, so I wanted to show how modern technology can provide made to measure lingerie for each individual.

‘But not only that, I wanted to show how 3D printing could truly modernise the market and create unique looking underwear which does away with traditional materials. 

‘Stretch silicone is amazing to work with and could really change the way lingerie is made. It’s very strong and flexible when cured, and is practically impossible to unstick. 

‘It also has an amazing feel to it, and when 3D printed can create more intricate detailing than traditional methods.

‘In many ways, when printed onto sheer mesh as a floral pattern, it’s like a modern alternative to lace.

Jess used 3D printed stretch silicone in place of elastic and stitching which causes VPL. Instead of being sewn, seams are bonded by the silicone during the 3D printing process which enables garments to appear as clean cut and prevents them becoming misshapen.

Emma Prince, senior lecturer in fashion design at the School of Art Design, said: ‘Jess has showed real innovation in developing her range of products and has developed her knowledge of this new technology which she can expand upon when she leaves university and pursues her career. 

‘It’s a great illustration of how modern technology can change the way clothing is made, leading to improvements in the performance of garments, their fit and their market appeal.’
