How do I pick the perfect red lippie?

“Indian women look best in blue-based reds,” says Vipul Bhagat, Mumbai- based celebrity hair and make-up artist. His favourites include M·A·C Ruby Woo and Russian Red (`1,450 each). But it’s as much the application as it is the right colour. “A lip pencil is essential for red lips. In fact, you can forget about lipstick altogether.” He explains that one should line and fill the entire lip with the pencil, because, “red lips look tacky when the lipstick comes off.Lip Pencils keep the look fresh and intacts."
