Ithough mid- and high-

end makeup lines have
become readily available over
the past 10 years, relying on
Sephora and Mac for your fix
is expensive and often not
feasible. In this new column,
I’m going to offer suggestions
for affordable options.

My favourite drugstore
lipstick is Rimmel’s Lasting
Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate
Moss. It comes in ten colours
ranging from light nudes and
pinks to bold oranges and deep
reds, meaning that with just a
couple youre set for pretty much
anything. The only one I would
not recommend is 113, the nude,
because I find it washes me out
and isn’t flattering in the least,

people with darker skin tones.
My personal favourite is 105, a
pinkish brown that somehow

: awoman on the SkyTrain ask
: me if I worked for a cosmetics
: company when I was wearing it!

What I like about these

: lipsticks is how, despite being

: matte, they never feel (or look)

: drying on me, but since it’s fall

: now it doesn’t hurt to apply a bit
: of lip balm beforehand. On that
: note, I find they always last a

: long time compared to some of

: my other lipsticks, and I haven’t
: noticed them form the dreaded

: lip liner ring after eating—

: although that may not always

: hold true on the darker colours.

Rimmel also has a non-

: matte line of Kate Moss

: lipsticks, if you prefer a shinier
: finish. Although I only have

: two, I get a lot of wear out of

: them and would definitely

: recommend them. I usually

: see both lines selling for $8-9,
: but I’ve seen them on sale for
though lighter nudes tend to suit : 5 low as $6, meaning these

: are an affordable way to build
: up your lipstick wardrobe.

Suggestions for makeup

fits me perfectly. I once even had : Lauren should cover? Email her
