I love bright lipstick, whether it’s red, pink or plum. A bold lip makes me feel confident and sexy, and what woman doesn’t love that feeling? This is how I do my lips to ensure long-lasting sexy colour.

Step 1: Exfoliate
Use a lip scrub to ensure that your lips are soft and smooth. This will help your lipstick stay put for longer, and give a smoother canvas for a better look.

Step 2: Line Lips
Use a lip liner that matches your natural lip colour to follow your natural lip line. Use short, soft strokes, starting with your cupids bow and working outwards.

Step 3: Apply Lipstick
A new tube of lipstick will give a good application straight away. As the tip blunts, switch to using a lip brush to ensure that you get an accurate application of colour.

Step 4: Blot and Set
Blot excess lipstick by pressing a tissue between your lips. Set the remaining colour by patting translucent powder onto your lips.

Step 5:Re-apply Lipstick
Apply another layer of lipstick to acheive a sexy smile that will last all day!

These are some of my favourite lipstick products at the moment:
