There’s nothing I love more than a classic red lip. It’s so versatile, makes you look put together and it’s so blimin’ easy to do. It can be worn everyday, for a night out or even with no makeup on and freckled skin. (I want freckles so bad and am forever drawing them on – if this is something you’d like a tutorial on, please let me know, I’d love to create one for you).

Today I thought I’d share with you one of my favourite ways to wear red lipstick that’s glam, yet quite minimal with all the focus being on the amazing colour I’ve got on my lips. I’ve used a gorgeous shimmery gold on the eyes – personally, I think gold and red go perfectly together, with just a touch of definition at the lash line.

So without further ado, if you’d like to see how I created my perfect, all year round, red lipstick look, look no further.
