2011 Beauty trends...The red lipstick
There is a reason that red lippy is the must have for most of us. The shine, the shape, the plumping up, if there was a miracle substance for transforming even the most boring, thin and hated of lips - the red lipstick is it, the maverick, the daddy and quite simply irreplacable.
Marilyn Monroe was one of the first to discover the secret to what a good shade of red could do. Look at any photograph of the young starlet and you see that her smile is one that so many would pay for - and with the little help of lippy, it goes a long way in turning those heads and securing male attention.
Rock chick, Gwen Stefani has made the red lipstick her own trend and it does wonders for her complexion. Find the right shade and red can lift any dull skin tone and brighten those eyes even blondes like Gwen can rock it!
Look at that sparkle in her eyes and confidence in her appearance, here is a girl whose now found red and never going back.
Red can evoke many different looks, of that there is no denying. It can be the favourite of a grunge princess like Stefani or make a sultry tempress like burleque star Dita Von Teese.
There is never a time we don't see her with a hefty application of the red stuff and now we know why...
stirring up those romantic, sexy and loving emotions, red is THE colour you want to be sporting if you're wanting the men to be falling at your feet. Not to mention is gives Dita the complexion perfection of a pot doll.
One of the hottest Hollywood properties at the moment also knows that red is the way forward.
Star of the Transformer films, Megan Fox is one of the sexiest girls in the world and very few would deny that red lippy is hindering this girl's look. 
It gives her a smokey look that most girls would kill for and most guys would kill to be with. Why not have an experiment yorself and see which shade of red suits you?
We've tried to give you a head start to find the best reds in the shops at the market and with everything from lipsticks, to liners and glosses there is no excuse for getting those lips rosey red and lush.
This deep clarins is bound to give you a rich tone and perfect for giving your lips that long lasting colour that you need for a day at the office or a night on the town.
Get dressed up with a nice LBD (little black dress) and find that sexy hair do and your man will not know what has hit him.
Lips are incomplete without some shaping and this selection of Rimmel lip liners give you the crisp edge to colour in with a gloss or stick of your choice.
It helps to define lips and even offer the illusion that lips are fuller than they actually are. A cheaper alternative to some collagen products.
If you're a gloss girl through and through then this is the product for you. Bobbi Brown's infamous bright colours and stand out range is the perfect thing for finding that right shade of red.
We recommend this, as you're bound to get those heads turning, finds the inner goddess within you and find that much needed confidence that a season under blankets and jumpers can take away from you.
