The search for an easy red lip is an enduring quest. This summer, the answer is to lean towards a fresh ripe cherry, as seen at Oscar de la Renta, or Vivienne Westwood. Easy, youthful, bright. Whether it’s matte and careful, super glossy like an ice-cream topping, or a sheer balm, the aim is to appear as though you didn’t spend hours poring over blogs and magazines, as though your hand is not striped with a rainbow of reds, as though this lipstick just… found you.
