Red lipsticks tried and tested for you
* MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus II, €20 ( www.brownthomas.ie )
“This is more of a bold neon than a classic red and has a chalky consistency, which made it very durable but not at all drying.
"I didn’t have to worry about smudging and only needed one re-application over the course of an evening.”
* Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick in Cherry, €22 ( www.boots.ie )
“In the bullet, this lipstick appeared solid in colour, but on application it’s a sheer, shiny gloss — so you can control the intensity of colour by applying more layers.
It had great staying power, didn’t flake or bleed, and has a pleasant berry-like fragrance too.”
* By Terry Terrybly Velvet Rouge in My Red, €41.70 ( www.feelunique.com , free P&P)
“This classic red liquid lipstick comes with a rounded applicator, making it easier to get into all the curves and crevices. The dense colour lasted well but did bleed slightly, so prepping with lip liner is a must.”
