Your spring trend: real red

You're all woman and very confident, and you like wearing strong make-up. Good news for you: femme fatale red is back!

How to wear it?
Always on impeccable, exfoliated lips: gently rub the lips with a tissue then moisturise with balm. Ideally, apply lipstick with a brush, without rubbing your lips together after you've applied it. And re-apply a coat after every meal.

How to choose it?
Matte if you have fleshy lips, and satiny if they're thin (shine creates volume). Avoid long-lasting formulae which dry out lips, and go for formulae which care for your lips. As for colour, try out two of the big spring trends (for fun if nothing else!): fuchsia and orange. Avoid dark shades that harden the lips (particularly thin lips).

Tip
For perfect staying power, apply an initial coat, place a tissue over the top and press lightly with your hands. Apply powder, then a second coat.
