Beauty spot: pink lips

Red lips are for classy girls, pink lips are for the rest of us. Worn sheer they're coy; worn strong they're rebellious – not "bring down the monarchy" rebellious, obviously, but "listens to their iPod loudly on the bus" rebellious. Pale pink on dark skin: amazing. Fuchsia on a blonde: wonderful. Coral worn very matte: wow-ey. Start with Maybelline's Color Sensational Lipstain in Plum (£5.99, boots.com ) for a beginner's undercoat, and go for Armani's amazing Rouge d'Armani in a hot raspberry (£23, selfridges.com ) for a bold daytime statement, a juicy screech of summer colour.
