Get the perfect accessory for Valentine's Day!

Max Factor has launched 5 new shades of bold, kiss-proof colour – just in time to get ready for Valentines’ Day! The award winning lip pens now come in 10 bright colours including Passion Red 09 and Pink Petal 01 – Max Factor’s perfect shades for Valentines’. The pen format allows you to create sleek lip looks to capture his eye, whilst the stain formula is kiss-proof – meaning you don’t need to worry about smudging your lipstick!
Max Factor award winning make-up artist Caroline Barnes reveals her failsafe tips in her Valentine’s Q&A: 

Are there any make-up don’ts for a hot date?
“Being sexy is key but over doing the make-up is generally a quick turn off for boys! If you want to have a statement lip just ensure that it is blotted down well so that when you have a kiss- it won't end up all over your face. If you are a girl who can't survive without her gloss then keep the tone natural and play up your eyes instead.”

What look should we opt for this Valentines’ Day?
 “Fresh dewy healthy skin and defined lips. Choose your best alluring feature and bring out your beauty, your features are key flirting tools! Make your lips fuller by rounding the top lip over the cupids bow to make them look fuller, much sexier than just drawing over the lip line.”

What products have that extra staying power?
“ Use lip products that will give you a perfect stain to your mouth. This way the colour lasts longer and is definitely more kiss proof. My favourite at the moment is Max Factor Lip Tint in Red Passion (£7.99).” 
  

For a dramatic and kiss-proof lip look on Valentine's Day, follow these easy steps from Caroline!

STEP 1- Use Lip Tint Pen in Passion Red and let it dry for 30 seconds to allow the pigment to
stain your lips.

STEP 2 -  Apply a gloss - go for a clear gloss for the traditional runway look or try different colours.
