Of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s celebrated celestial beauty, her pillowy lips are central. Granted, she’s been genetically blessed with plumpness, but we all want to know how she further enhances her photogenic pout.
In a recent video for Australian beauty retailer Mecca, the supermodel and beauty entrepreneur joins make-up artist Nikki DeRoest to demonstrate their everyday glam, where they use bareMinerals – a brand which they both work closely with. As well as sharing application tips and tricks, Huntington-Whiteley reveals her favourite lipstick for that ‘your lips but better’ look.

The shade Cinnamon is described as a ‘warm rosy brown’, which lends Huntington-Whiteley’s lips a richness in tone and full, featheriness in texture. The light gel formula, while being long-lasting, is conditioning, negating the need for lip balm beneath, making it the perfect all-day lipstick.
For a similar shade, we love the classic MAC Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy, and the Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick in Beautiful Stranger.
To make matte lip products apply and adhere better, prep with a good lip scrub, first. Or, try Huntington-Whiteley's hack and exfoliate your lips with a towel after showering. "Making sure that you gently rub or buff away any dead skin with the edge of the towel works well for me," she told Refinery29.
