I know, I know. It's not quite Spring yet, but I am looking forward to leaving these dark mornings behind me! In contrast, a red lip reminds me of a cold, crisp morning! When wearing a red lip, it's quite a bold colour so people will obviously know that you're wearing make-up and you'll have to think carefully about your clothes and how it will go with your outfit! Here are a few styles you could try out (Clothes linked at the bottom o
