I absolutely
love red lipstick. It can brighten up any look, from daytime in the office to a night
out with friends. I’m always on the look out for a good new lipstick with
staying power that is not too shiny, or conversely, is not too matte and
drying. One that I would definitely
recommend is ‘Red-y to Wear’ by Clinique. It has great pigmentation, long
lasting colour, and is the perfect red on olive or tanned skin.
If you have
fairer skin, I recommend using a lipstick such as ‘Lady Danger’ by MAC, for
around £15. If you want to treat yourself to a little piece of Chanel, why not
try Rouge Coco in ‘Gabrielle’, which is a hydrating crème lip colour, for £25,
which I shall be buying on payday!
However,
wearing red lipstick can be daunting. There are so many worries - have I crossed the fine line between classy
and trashy? Does this look even suit me or do I look like I’ve been playing
with face paints? IS IT ON MY TEETH? We’ve all been there. Therefore a tinted
lipbalm is a great alternative. My current favourite is Babylips by Maybelline New
York, in ‘Cherry Me’, which has been around in the USA for ages but was only
released in the UK last month.
This product claims to hydrate, moisturise and
give baby soft lips in a week, and is enriched with shea butter and other
lovely ingredients. It has a mouth watering cherry smell, and with the price of
£2.99, this is such a bargain. If you don't mind spending a little extra, then Chubby Sticks by Clinique in 'Chunky Cherry' or 'Whooping Watermelon' are very good, at £17.
In the last few weeks of summer, why not give a bright red lipstick or juicy red lipbalm a try?
