Red, oh red. What a stunning color family. I'm usually one to shy away from big blocks of red in my everyday life, but there's something about an accent of red that really brightens up my day. Growing up, my mum always treated red as a neutral. She was never one to rock a red lip but she would have no hesitation with toting around a bag as bright as a fire engine. I am not that brave when it comes to my fashion accessories, but give me a fire engine red lipstick and I'd probably slap it on right then and there.
