I know it’s v uncool to have regrets, but I do have one, and that is never having got the hang of red lipstick. I would so love to be that woman, the one who wears red lipstick. Such an instant, chic style signature. I never got the knack of applying red lippy without smudging it or chewing it off, and never felt comfortable with what I look like wearing it. But I love it on other people.
So I was thrilled to notice a new styling trick that I want to share with you today. I first spotted it among fashion audiences at shows in Paris and Milan earlier this autumn, and since then I’ve been seeing it out and about in London. A pop of red, it turns out, doesn’t have to be a lipstick. If a swipe of Mac’s Ruby Woo or Revlon’s Fire & Ice isn’t your thing, you can reach for a red shoe, or a red bag, or a red sock.
