Remember Marilyn Monroe With Our Top 5 Red Lip Products

Marilyn Monroe (aka Norma Jeane Mortenson), sadly passed away 50 years ago yesterday, and we thought what better way to remember the screen siren than with our top five red lip products. After all, she was the queen of the red lip and one of the reasons the hue is so popular today. Wearing red lipstick can be daunting, but the key is to wear lip liner to stop it bleeding. Make sure lips are exfoliated and moisturised, then carefully line the lips with a sharp pencil of similar shade to the red lipstick you'd like to wear, and be sure to follow your natural lip line. Then, fill in the entire lip area with the pencil — this will give your lipstick better staying power. Finally, apply your lipstick! And if there's one thing beauty icons of yesteryear have taught us, remember to blot the excess with a tissue. Click through to see the five red lip products we're loving right now.
