If there’s one accessory you shouldn’t leave home without this Christmas it’s red lipstick. Seen on most catwalks from Bottega Veneta
to Giles Deacon
, it came in many guises from deep, pillar-box red at D&G
and glossy claret tones at Emporio Armani
to matte berry tones at Lanvin
.
Our favourite incarnation was at Antonio Berardi where make-up artist Val Garland created dense, velvet-textured lips in bright, eye-popping shades of red. To get the look a complex process of layering pigment powder, lip liner and matte lipsticks was involved. ‘I was inspired by the texture of rose petals,’ said Garland, ‘but it’s definitely a sexy, real-woman kind of lip’. We couldn’t agree more.
