"'When I die, bury me with a tube of MAC Lady Danger (£17.50),' I once posted on Instagram alongside a picture of me wearing nothing but my trusty red lipstick and a sweep of mascara. I'm a big believer in the power of a classic red, and of all the ones I've tried (and trust me, there have been a lot), Lady Danger is still the one I reach for above all others if I'm having a confidence crisis. It's a really rich orange-red, which isn't usually recommended for pink-toned skin like mine, but this lipstick just pops like no other. MAC also has the texture and staying power nailed. Though this won't last all day like a liquid lipstick, it also doesn't give you Sahara Desert lips like they so often do. I'm happy to top up a few times for the sake of a creamier formula!" — Gemma Cartwright, senior editor
