From the runway to the red carpet, red is still the go-to shade for a bold lip colour.

To prep your lips for a bold colour and to make sure they’re soft and kissable; add a few drops of olive oil to a pinch of sugar, massage into lips for a minute. Rinse with cold water and apply moisturising lip balm.
