It’s a classic date night look, which will probably never go out of style, for a good reason. What’s more, it looks great with so many colours, including black, gold, white or red.

Whether you want to go for a subdued hue of pinky red, a classic vivid, rich tone or a real show-stopping pillarbox shade, red lipstick is a fun way to break your usual cosmetic routine. We’ve picked out a whole selection, as well as some deep, dark sultry scarlets that are beyond perfect for a date. You’ll also find some popping tomato reds that can take you from day to night, the perfect choice for the woman on the go. On another note, with their beautiful, lavish hues, lip stains are a great, often longer lasting, alternatives.
