We haven’t tried this yet but wanted to mention it as the concept does sound quite interesting – specially designed lipstick colours certified to make teeth look whiter.

So for those on a budget and are not able to afford the cosmetic dentistry option and need a cheeky excuse to buy a new lipstick this is most certainly a fab compromise.

Using a dental colour guide during clinical testing, Clinique confirmed it: each smile was at least one shade brighter.
