Best for… red lip beginners

Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm Red Dahlia, £5.99, feelunique.com

This is one for people who don’t like lipstick. Really, it’s a lip balm but with the sheerest tint to lightly glaze over your lips in a quiet cool-toned red. Naturally, as a balm, it’s more concerned with lip care than colour, with plant waxes and softening shea butter. You’ll need to build it up a fair bit to achieve an opaque red shade, but if you want an easy-going lip product that feels lovely to wear, consider this red for you.
