5 LIPS Charlotte Tilbury Red Carpet Red Lipstick, £24

although I’m a big mascara fan, I don’t mind not wearing it if I’ve got a red lip on. I apply this blue-toned red straight from the bullet, then because “I’m a lady of a certain age” and lipsticks tend to bleed, I’ll line my lips with Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk, £16, to cheat fuller lips.
