Beauty: The power of a red lip!

Make up artist favourite red - Mac Ruby Woo

I was at an event last night and in typical mummy fashion barely had time to change my clothes let alone freshen my make up...Enter my favourite red lipstick. 

I'm normally a slick of 'Eight Hour Cream' kind of girl on my lips as I'm a bit lazy when it comes to keeping on top of a well made face, so anything thats easy works for me. 

Gwen Stafani is rearly seen without a slick of red, whether dressed up to the nines or ripped jeans and basic white tee. Red lipstick can be very daunting to those that have not worn it before. I steered well clear of anything bold on my lips for years. Given that I have quite full lips I would always feel like a clown, but once you're over that initial feeling that everyone is staring at you, you'll soon have your favourite "go to" red for a quick confidence boost.

Just remember, the key to a great red lip is to keep everything else simple. A good base, a slick of mascara or gel liner and then let your lips do the talking!
