With an abundance of beauty boutiques and around 200,000 people passing though its terminals each day, London’s Heathrow Airport has its finger on the pulse when it comes to what’s trending in beauty around the world.

The airport has released its first-ever Lipstick Colours of the Year Report, which shows what shades women are loving in 50 countries around the world based on the terminal’s sales data.

Turns out Sydneysiders (the only Australian city in the report) are a city of nude lip lovers, with “Coffee Nude” being the top shade. The London look was similar, with the folks across the pond loving a warm caramel. New Yorkers were a little more predictable, with classic red ranking as their preferred colour. Parisians, ever the romantics, were all about the dusty pink. Image: The most popular lip colours from 50 cities around the world.
