Beauty spot: getting the just kissed look

Looking like you’ve just been for a snog behind the bike sheds is this season’s lip look. As seen on the Rosie Assoulin catwalk a mussed-up red lip ousted its classic counterpart. It’s the perfect look for those lacking in hand-eye co-ordination and/or the energy to keep reapplying after every clandestine chocolate digestive. Simply dab your favourite shade of scarlet on to the centre of your lips and buff outwards using a lip brush so that the edges smudge over the lip line, creating a diffused effect.
