I have been thinking for a while now that I am going to brave a red lip. Whilst initially daunting, a scarlet pout is instantly transforming and confidence boosting. I’m now all the more convinced after spying Cheryl Cole on the X-Factor on Saturday night and I have it on good authority that she was wearing Color Riche Boosting Serum lipstick in True Red, £8.49, by L’Oreal Paris. The key to her success (in between pulling funny faces during Cher’s performance) was to keep the rest of her make-up simple with groomed brows simply lined eyes. Definitely a winning look.
