Want to add a bit of drama to your daytime look? There is no simpler transformation than the red lip. In one easy swipe, red lippy brings daytime drab to catwalk fab as you trot down the trottoir.
We've teamed up with Bourjois and Parisian beauty editor, Gabrielle Lafarge-Sterin, to reveal how our stylish neighbours across the channel tunnel are rocking the red this winter.
Statement Lip
Gabrielle herself struggles on gloomy winter days. Her top tip is a white shirt "to lift the complexion" and, of course, "a swipe of vibrant red lipstick to fight fatigue."
Go for Rouge Edition Velvet 18 in It's Redding Men to add Gabrielle's energy to your look.
Alternatively, if you're after a matte, but non-drying, statement red, you'll love Rouge Edition 12HR 24 in Cherry My Cherrie.
Classic Rouge
Gabrielle has only the highest praise for Flora Carter's look: "with her leopard coat, gorgeous curls, intense red lips and fabulous freckles, Flora cut a flamboyant figure [on the Parisian streets]."
Replicate Flora's traffic-stopping look with Rouge Edition Velvet in 15 Re(d)volution, or its matte counterpart, Rouge Edition 12HR in 44 Red-Belle. Both balance intense colour with heritage Parisian style.
Poppy Pout
Cali Blackwell knows exactly how to accessorise around a red lip. Gabrielle admires how the poppy shade "really makes her blonde hair 'pop'" and the stunning addition of the black feline eye flick.
Zing-tastic orange-reds beautifully complement pale complexions. Rouge Edition 12HR 43 in Rouge Your Body will last throughout the day with minimal reapplication and Rouge Edition Velvet in 03 Hot Pepper will give you fantastic shine.
Rouge Edition Velvet, £8.99, and Rouge Edition 12HR, £7.99, are available at boots.com.
