Vogue Williams revealed how cleverly she is capturing the jungle lipstick look.
If you’ve watched I’m a celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, you’ll know that the campmates have lost their phones, their belongings, and, most shockingly for some, their make-up. Despite having long since removed her makeup, Vogue Williams has managed to look strangely polished during the past few days while she has been in camp.
The secret is a permanent liner, which she claims has been using for years because “it lasts for ages,” as she casually revealed to Ruby Wax around the campfire.
And with that one off-hand comment, Lip Blush treatments were reintroduced into the limelight.
Before heading into the jungle, Alex Scott, the star of I’m a Celeb, quietly shared her anti-ageing skincare regimen.
The version Vogue swears by is nothing like the harsh ‘90s permanent make-up many of us still picture– those dark, sharply drawn lines that aged badly and faded even worse. According to leading permanent make-up artist Karen Betts, who Vogue has to thank for her own lip colour, today’s Lip Blush is an entirely different world: softer, more natural and designed to look like your lips on their absolute best day.
Think of Lip Blush as a stain-, stain-, or very subtle micro-tattooing that lasts for a long time. Karen explains that contemporary artists add a diffused veil of pigment using a micro-shading technique and ultra-fine needles instead of rigid lines. Although it doesn’t balloon the lips like filler would, it does give off a more even tone, a slightly fuller shape, and creates the illusion of symmetry.
The artist creates the ideal shape and shade by mapping out the ideal shape and shade, changing the outline as many times as necessary until it is perfect before any pigment even comes onto the skin. The actual treatment begins only after that, which lasts for about 90 minutes and leaves you feeling “like an electric toothbrush held against your skin,” Karen says. A second appointment a few weeks later is standard, to simply check any areas where the color didn’t hold up as well.
The results can last up to a year before gently fading, and most clients return every 12–18 months for a colour boost to keep everything looking fresh. So while the rest of the jungle crew are resigned to bare-faced living, Vogue’s subtly defined, naturally enhanced lips aren’t the result of breaking any ITV rules—they’re simply the product of a very clever bit of beauty prep.
In fact, this prep method isn’t entirely new for this series. Last year, Coleen Rooney and Tulisa both appeared to be wearing a fair amount of make-up on their brows, lips and eyes, leading X users at the time to ask if a few of them had snuck products into their backpacks.
Tulisa took to Instagram shortly before jetting off to Australia to update her followers on her jungle-ready beauty treatments. “I tatted the lips to match the brows, couldn’t help myself!” she penned alongside a selfie.
