For some it's a trademark, for me it's a blotchy face enhancer!

The Vamp look has evolved and now we can wear bright red lipstick without having to wear 40's style clothing, though it does always seem to set the look off nicely.

It is a scary thing for many of us,  letter box red lipstick can look so wrong (and I've always thought even more so for blondes - I stand corrected!) but get it right and this look screams sexy confident woman.
