BAFTA STARS REINVENT THE RED LIP

Ok, so red lips on the red carpet are nothing new, but Claire Danes and Audrey Tatou show how to reinvent the look.

This weekend at London Fashion Week the focus for A/W has been on statement lips with red being the shade du jour. Claire and Audrey have obviously been taking note.

Claire Danes, whose normal beauty routine is nude lips and a soft smoky eye, knew that this look wouldn’t cut it paired with her Burberry, champagne-hued, dress. Instead she headed to Lancome who gave her a classic red lip using L’Absolu Rouge in Caprice. If you don’t usually wear a bold lip, it is the best way to make a statement.

Audrey, who could have happily got away with a nude lip, smoky eye combo for the night, instead opted for a red lip with coral undertones to set off her pretty pink Lanvin dress. Try an orange lip with a red dress or stick with Audrey’s tried and tested red with pink combo.

Nominated for Best Actress for Coco for Chanel, the star confessed to not wearing Chanel, but ensured her perfume was, to make up for it.
