From hot pink and blood orange to electric purple and danger red, it really doesn’t matter the colour as long as it can be seen from a distance.
Statement lips are perfect for winter - they liven up cosy outfits and brighten pale winter complexions. The most flattering shade for all complexions is a bright hot pink - just make sure it is not too deep - the key is to find a colour that POPS!

Unfortunately you can't just slap some bright lipstick on and go (ok, you can, but flaky lips and lipstick all over your teeth should be left to Nana Pauline). It is a good idea to exfoliate your lips, with a soft flannel or old toothbrush, beforehand and condition them well - dry lips and bright colours do not go well together.
Liner is a MUST - so purchasing a nude coloured lip-liner is a great investment as it will work with all shades. It helps the lipstick stay in place and stops it from bleeding outside the natural line of the lips.
Beauty Bible loves this look matte, but if you are more of a juicy lips type of girl then a dollop of clear gloss in the centre of the bottom lip will look fab.
In terms of the rest of your face, keep in simple - a perfect base, a little bronzer, and some fat lashes is all you need.
