WEEKLY MUST HAVE: YSL ROUGE PUR COUTURE 1

A red lip is vital for the holiday season. While I've always been keen on MAC's reds, I've just discovered that YSL makes a pretty bad ass red too: Rouge Pur Couture in Le Rouge #1.

The entire Rouge Pur Couture collection explores our love affair with orange, red and fuchsia colors. But Le Rouge is my favorite, a fire-engine, candy apple red hue that awakens the pout. As Ciara (a fan of Le Rouge) puts it, "YSL Pur lipsticks are amazing because they have serious staying power!" It's true. The lippy stays on through food, smiles and even a few pecks.

I'm obsessed with Le Rouge because it is the perfect red. Not too deep or crimson, not too orange and not too burgandy. It is a straight-up RED that looks amazing on brunettes (as I am at the moment).  If it's not the perfect red for you, rest assured you will find the right hue in the Rouge Pur Collection (click here).

**TIP** When wearing a red lip, it is important to let the lip be the focal point of the face, so don't overdue the eyes and cheeks. A clean, flawless complexion is always a plus and a few coats of mascara should be all you need.
