on those finger-pads, to get a good idea ofsheerness/matteness and texture.” (Do givehands a good wipe with antibacterial cleansingwipes first, or a spritz of hand sanitiser.)Alternatively, try this brilliant trick fromGillian Dempsey: “Before you try lipstick onyour lips, use it to draw a life-size, upside-downpair of lips on the back of your hand, withthe cupid’s bow nearest the thumb. Stand twofoot back from a mirror and hold your handup to your face – and you can tell, instantly,whether the colour ‘lifts’ your face or makes itlook drab. If it looks flattering then go aheadand try it on your lips.” (You might need tosquint a bit, but it really does give a great clue.)Adjust your eye to a new shade. Switching toa new red lipstick can give you something akinto a visual shock, if you’re unused to it. So, onthe first day, add a layer of your new shade overyour existing shade, using a lip brush to blend.On the second day, add two layers of your newshade, again, blending carefully. On the thirdday, discontinue your original shade – and youreye should have adjusted perfectly to the newlook. This really does work! Alternatively, mytrick with a new red lipstick is to mix it witha little gloss or balm to sheer the texture outand create a stain. (I do this ALL the time.)Some of my favourite red lip tips, meanwhile,come from Poppy King – a.k.a. The LipstickQueen – who first launched a signature redlipstick range in Australia when she was 18.1. When wearing red lipstick,minimize your eye make up so thatthe red lips are the statement.2. To remove flaky, dry skin on the lipsexfoliate the lips with a spare toothbrushby gently massaging over lips.3. If you are worried about lipstick bleedingapply some under eye concealer around theedge of the lips before applying the lipstick.4. To stop lipstick getting on your teeth,pucker lips and pull your index fingerthrough. The excess lipstick that gets onyour teeth will come off on your finger.5. Dab some of the same colour lipstickon your cheeks after doing your lips: itreally brings the whole look together.And – ta-dah! – here are my favourite newreds… There’ve been some fantastic redlipstick innovations lately, and I’m rotatingthese (actually, having to give the handbag aregular edit or I find I’m carting five around!)Lisa Eldridge True Velvet Lip Colour, £27.Make-up artist Lisa’s True Velvet lipstick rangehas a range of highly pigmented warm and coolreds, always stunning, always with this comfymattefeel.

My advice is to give ita go. It’s not a tattoo. It’s not hang-gliding orS&M or tightrope-walking: it’s only make-up –and at the end of the day (or immediately, cometo that), you can wash it off and go back to yourtame nudes. Then at worst you can hold yourhead up proudly and say that you’ve tried it.And at best? Maybe your new red lipstickwill be the start of a whole new you…Visit beautybible.com for more of Jo’sproduct reviews and beauty tips.115priceless-magazines.com
