Trends may
come and go but the red lip is always sexy. While this coming autumn the
fashion may be to dress the face
again, according to Terry Barber, Mac’s director of make-up artistry, you
should not look as if you have tried too hard. In other words, it is about
enhancing the face, not disguising it.
“A red lip
and a bare face always looks great,” says Terry. While many of you may balk at
the idea of going out without any coverage, after all most of us need a little
help, you want to look as if you are not wearing anything. Make sure you even
out your complexion and cover up any blemishes.

Find one
that matches your skin. Try MAC Studio Waterweight SPF 30 Foundation (£25.50)
an ultra-fluid, thin, elastic gel serum formula will give you that perfect
complexion without masking it.
If you do
not want to face the world without mascara give MAC Upward Lash Upwardblack
(£19) a go. It will transform even the scantiest lashes into a magnificent
fringe.
For that
statement lip, go for a brick red or a deep burgundy as they can be easier to
pull off. For a more demure look, use a lip balm underneath so you get a rosy
look. Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet, La Bouleversante (£26) is a gorgeous
velvety-matt red that will get you noticed.
Another good
one is Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick in Red Paprika (£19.50), a burnt orangey-red
which stays true to its colour for hours.
