Scarlett with summer 09 trend of the bold lip

The choice of lip colour can make or break an outfit. So with 2009 looming close we have the latest lip looks to see you through till next Summer.

Previewed on the catwalks for S/S 2009, were two very contrasting lip colours - bold and nude.

As seen on the catwalks of Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton, the bold lip is going to hot in 2009. From scarlet reds to fuchsia, the bold lip is the quickest way to an effortless and eye-catching look this spring/summer.

The texture of the colour matters too. A matte lip screams modern glamour, whilst a glossy lip is pure 1970s sex appeal.

In complete contrast the nude lip, as seen at Versace and Calvin Klein, is all about defining other features.

Fleshy tones, nearly nude hues and caramel are the top shades to highlight this trend. A nude lip is sexy, demure and allows the eyes to really standout.

Add these two lip trends to your makeup bag, and have a perfect pout right into 2009.
