Red red red!

This Winter I am loving red. Red lipstick, red handbags, red clothes - I love how the colour pops against the drab grey of the Winter skies. It makes me feel warmer and happier and complements my love of leopard print very nicely indeed.

The easiest way to inject a little bit of red into your wardrobe is through a nice bright red lipstick. I have searched long and hard for ones that suit my vaguely weird, pale but slightly pink complexion and these are some of the best on me:

NARS Red Lizard: This semi-matte lipstick is a deep red that on me looks nice and bright. NARS makes great lipsticks, but the semi-mattes can be a bit dry. I think a matte look is great for winter though as the colour is far more solid and bright. Other NARS red options to look at include Shanghai Express, Jungle Red and Fire down Below (Available at Mecca Cosmetica, RRP $58).MAC Viva Glam 1: I love this red - it's sometimes a little brown for some people but on me, it's a true blue red and perfect with my complexion. Again, another matte finish but not quite as dry as the NARS. It's my go-to red. Other MAC options for crimson-hued aficionados include Russian Red, Ruby Woo, MAC Red and Dubbonet (Available from MAC, RRP $35).

NARS Velvet Matte Lip pencils: I'm a late convert to the lip pencil as a lipstick fad, but the texture of these pencils is so fabulous and the colour so deep and intense, I defy anyone not to love them! My favourite red is Cruella but Dragon Girl is another intense scarlet (Available at Mecca Cosmetica, RRP $50).

Do you have a favourite red? Doesn't have to be a lipstick!
