Red Lips

The idea of red lipstick has been around since the time of Cleopatra and Elizabeth I. It's timeless, elegant, classic and never fails to look downright amazing. It's an intimidating trend but doesn't have to be. Here are my top five choices:

1. M.A.C. Ruby Woo - for a great matte look
2. Nars Jungle Red - more of an orange-based red
3. Armani Hollywood Red - a light, silky red; the kind of red Marilyn Monroe herself would wear
4. Revlon "Love That Red" - this classic first hit the cosmetic counter in 1951, and continues to wow with its perfect blend of blue undertones
5. YSL Red Muse - a deep fushia red that will make heads turn
