THE ICONIC RED LIP

Get party-ready in a flash and inject instant glamour with Stila’s creamy matt liquid lipstick – and achieve a professional finish with the help of beauty editor Jess Clark’s how-to film

Party season calls for added drama, and nothing quite matches the timeless beauty of a true red lip. Paired with clean skin and barely there eye make-up, red lipstick brings a touch of old-school glamour – and yet it’s thoroughly modern, too. Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Beso is the perfect true red (with a hint of blue to whiten the teeth), a shade that suits all skin tones and, as the name suggests, has real staying power. With its dense pigment and matt texture, this colour is completely solid; I love to finish the look with a slick of Stila Vinyl Lip Gloss in the centre for added intensity and high-impact colour.
