This colour will suit many skintones, from olive to super-pale. It’s matt but not drying – a great everyday red.

A deeply saturated red with a matt finish, we like to smudge it on for a fashionably imperfect stained look.

This is a lovely, wearable, day red with a creamy consistency that glides on matt.

Come summer a good geranium shade is a must – this Bobbi Brown version is one of our all-time faves.

When it comes to achieving a berry lip, you can’t beat ‘Cruella’. One of our favourite shades in this crayon range.

Icon by name and icon by colour. This is a beautiful shade of ruby red that goes on super-matt – a fab evening lipgloss.

A great deep red on blondes – not too heavy or berry, but still dramatic on.

One of the best all-day matt lipglosses out there. All the shades are a pop of vivid colour, but we particularly love the ‘Fashion Legacy’ red.

A little gem on the high street, ‘Falling Fast’ is the perfect coral summer lip.

An orange-red that is never too bright, ‘Tell Laura’ is a seasonless formula.

Another crayon favourite, Red Square is Jenna Lyons’ go-to red and that’s reason enough for us.
