If you're not one for heavy makeup, why not add a pop of colour to our lips? Pinks, oranges and reds are great colours to play around with during the day or night, so once you've found your shade, have fun! But don't forget to keep your eye makeup to a minimum.

Make a statement

Don't be a wallflower, whip out that zesty orange lip colour. It doesn't matter if it's matte or glossy, all you need to do is carry it with confidence like Zooey Deschanel. But remember, the lighter your skin tone, the darker the shade should be.

Pretty in pink

Add a touch of romance to your day with pink. Whether it's pepto pink or a softer more subtle tone, this candy-coloured shade is playful. Just look how pretty it makes Taylor Swift look!

Ring the alarm

Ciara knows how to pull off a perfect red pout. Darker skinned ladies don't have to shy away from colour anymore, but you should definitely make sure whatever the shade you choose suits you. If you're not sure, we've got a great guide to help.

The dark side

If the brighter colours aren't your style, like Kristen Stewart, then try a darker, richer colour on your lips. The opulent burgundies and plums are often worn more during winter, but whip them out for those festive all-night elegant parties.
