Velvety red, deep wine-nothing makes quite an impact as dark lips. The key to pulling off the look is finding your right shade and texture: the sheerer the formula, the more wearable it is.

1. Trace a red pencil around your lips-then fill lips in-to define their shape.
2. Apply a plush, matte red lipstick
3. Press a tissue on your lips to set colour and remove excess oils
4. Reapply colour for a boost, or layer lips with a clear or beige gloss to soften the look.

Bonus Tip: For long-lasting colour, place a tissue over lips, then with a puff, press translucent loose powder on to the tissue, over lips. Lip colour will last longer and be less likely to feather.
