WHAT’S NOW & HOW TO DO IT... POWER PINK

RED is the classic show-stopping party shade for lips, but the right pink can brighten your face and look just as dramatic.

Rosy hues are often more forgiving than scarlet, the secret is picking the correct pink for your skin tone.

If you have a pale complexion, choose a lighter shade, such as Le Marc Leopard Frost Lip Creme Lipstick in Sugar Sugar (£25,
