A 29-year-old woman has launched a #redlipstickselfie campaign encouraging people to post pictures of themselves wearing bright red lipstick on their social media accounts in a bid to raise money for lung cancer research.
#throwbackthursday a year ago this weekend...in Spain ☀️❤️️#redlipstickselfie
Victoria Herd’s mother Janice Leverett died of lung cancer in March of this year at the age of 59.
Who will you nominate to do a #redlipstickselfie ??? #lungancer
Inspired by how successful the #NoMakeupSelfie craze was in raising money for Cancer Research U.K., Herd decided to devise her own version to raise funds and awareness about lung cancer.
Girls doing their it! Will you? #redlipstickselfie
I've started up this #redlipstickselfie campaign, to 'Kiss Lung Cancer Goodbye' but also because my mum loved wearing red lipstick... wherever she was, the beach, swimming, shopping, she would be wearing red lipstick. It was her signature look.
Herd is attempting to raise as much money as possible for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.
