Lauren Luke's dark red lips

Lauren Luke: red lips: Red lips: Boots
Boots No7 soft matte-finish lipstick in purple, £10.25.
Lauren says: More redcurrant than ­purple, it creates a subtle vampire bitten stain when blended into lips. It didn’t last as long as I’d hoped, so keep it close by for top-ups. ★★★

Bourjois Sweet Kiss in Rouge ­Intemporal, £7.99, widely available.
Lauren says: Great all-rounder for day and evenings. Good for a dressed-up gothic look, but looks just as effective with natural make-up. ★★★★★

Chanel Rouge Coco in Rouge Noir, £21.50.
Lauren says: A gorgeous, rich shade for autumn. I love this, particularly as it lasts so long. Works well with ­neutral or smoky eyes – expensive, but worth indulging. ★★★★
