    This is a quick and fun way to perk up your daytime makeup, and to do a quick party look.

    You will need, a red lipstick and a darker lip liner (although you can experiment with many different colour options!)

    We're using Ruby Woo by MAC and a MAC lip liner in Burgundy. NARS lipliners are also great.

    If you're on a budget, Barry M do very good lipliners, and Rimmel and Topshop are good bets for lipstick.

    Start by freshening up your daytime makeup.

    Re-apply any eyeliner that might have smudged, touch up concealer and so on.

    And then put on some red lipstick of your choosing. Step-by-step instructions for an easy red lip are here.

    Next, we're going to add a little bit more *pop* by using a dark liner pencil.

    Next, use a darker liner pencil to fill in the corners either side of the lips, creating an ombre effect. If you wanted it to look really dramatic, you could even try using a kohl pencil.

    You want to get right into the corners, and then blend out, ideally using a lip brush. The end result will be an almost 3-D effect.

    Now work that statement lip!
