How did we decide that a lip tint for men is one of Resort ’24’s surprisingly biggest trends? We took a look at the season of simplicity and into the next, another season so, and decided that there was a radicality in things that were presented as they were. Straightforward in their ease of being, unostentatiousness that highlights a quiet confidence instead, and fashioned for action and activity.

That the lip tint for men is equally as surprising: part your lips, pull the bottom one down and observe the colour of your gums. That particular shade is the most natural one to fake the look of health and good circulation with a lip tint.
