aya-jonesWho says berry lips are just for winter? Take a leaf out of Anna Sui’s Spring/Summer 2016 runway which saw Tami Williams and Aya Jones sporting darker hues and pucker up in shades of wine, berry and marsala this season.

Before you rock berry though, here are a few tips to take into account.

  1. Keep your eye make-up minimal; let your pout do the talking.
