Read my lips

I love a good red lip. There is something very old hollywood glamour about it and a healthy dose of va-va-voom! it brings to mind beautiful starlets and women in charge. I think it helps take any look from bland to foxy with the greatest of ease...

Much to my delight, Hannah at Rookie did a brilliant tutorial recently about how to apply lipstick to last a whole day - check it  out here - which is awesome for me as I'm not very used to wearing lipstick. I have often shied away from it because I felt like it always wears off in patches when eating and drinking and ends up looking less than glamorous. However after seeing the tutorial I'm keen to be brave!
