Red In The City: This Season’s Hottest Lip Looks

Sponsored By Bourjois

Ooh la la! This autumn, we're starting our quest to master the French-girl-cool look at the very top: with the red lip. We travelled to Paris with our friends at Bourjois to talk to Grazia France's Beauty Editor, Gabrielle Lafarge-Sterin, to get her tips. After all, as Gabrielle says herself "A flawless red lip adds instant glamour to even the most low-key fashion look".

It's all about the texture and the colour. So what should you choose and how should you style it? Gabrielle picked out her favourite, easy to wear, Bourjois colours and textures so that you can take your pick. Before you get started though, always remember that a red lip looks best when paired with fresh, natural skin. Try Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation to give you a simple, glowing base and let your lips do the talking!

Rouge Bordeaux

Burgundy is the IT shade of the red spectrum. Go matte with the Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipstick in Grand Cru and have highly pigmented, seriously sophisticated lips all day long. Or, go with a touch of sheer matte and pick up the Rouge Edition 12H Lipstick in Red-Outable.

Poppy Rouge

Want a more contemporary look? Go for the slightly brighter shades, paired with a slick of black kohl liner. For the ultra-matte look, perfect for running around the city, go for Rouge Edition Velvet in Hot Pepper, but if you want extra-moisturised, super-kissable lips, pick up Rouge Edition 12H Lipstick in Rouge Your Body.

Classic Rouge

Why try to fix something that isn't broken? Classic red is intense, elegant and timeless. Paired with glowing skin and sculpted brows it can be matched with anything from daytime denim, to an out-out LBD. Gabrielle recommends either Rouge Edition Velvet in Red-Volution or Rouge Edition 12H Lipstick in 44 Red Belle.
