Even in this day and age, a slick of red lipstick is considered daring, the mark of a woman who’s not afraid to make a statement. Burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese is never seen without it, magazine editor Isabella Blow was famous for constantly having it smeared across her teeth and pop star Gwen Stefani has made it her signature.
First recorded in the sixteenth century, when it was an unsavoury mix of beeswax and crimson plant dye, a bold red lip has since been sported by attention-seeking starlets through the ages. Equally striking on brunettes (in deeper shades) as it is on blondes (for that extra pop), the rule of thumb is that you should match the base tone to your eyes, so blue red for blue eyes and brown red for brown eyes.
With shades ranging from scarlet and pillar box to vermillion and ruby, it is hard knowing where to start when it comes to finding the ideal shade, but best-sellers include Dior Rouge in 999 by Christian Dior (bought by the bucket load since 1947), Revlon's signature fiery Love That Red and YSL's Rouge Pur Couture in 1 Le Rouge. Chanel has Rouge Allure Intense in 99 Pirate and MAC has the fabled Ruby Woo, which is meant to work on any skin tone. To be fair, with one sold every fifteen seconds, MAC might be on to something.
Be prepared to try out a few before you find your perfect hue. Such a bold colour is a statement in itself, and is striking when paired with all black, grey or even denim. Avoid combining it with pink or orange, unless you are a professional clown.
The biggest faux pas with red lipstick? Not using a lip liner and having the pigment bleed out past your lips. Take a few moments to draw a good outline, which will help your lippy stay put. And always use exactly the same shade as your lipstick. No exceptions, no excuses.

Some of Darwish's last words
"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008
His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
