Red lipstick on eyes and cheeks

This season red lipstick isn’t just to sex up a pout. At Kenzo, their all-red make-up look was inspired by Studio 54’s divas, and created by blending lipstick across the eyes and cheeks with a clever little blush. This is disco beauty, meant to be worn with attitude under spotlights and spinning balls, but if you fancy just dipping a toe into the trend, start with a bold blusher or slash of reddish eyeshadow.
