All smiles for a radiant lip service

Red is back big-time for lips, as the new collection from Bourjois, Sweet Kiss Les Rouges, illustrates, blending waxes and oils for intense and radiantly wicked red smile. It's got argan oil, plus vitamins C and E to keep away chapping and splitting during winter, and there are even handy colour selecting suggestions: Fair skin, try 75 (pinky toned Rouge Parisienne) or 76 (Rouge Fashion – a truer red); olive skin, try 76 or 78 (Rouge Intemporel, a wine red); and dark skin, try 77 (Rouge Casual, a mauve red) or 78. Each costs 7.99 at Boots, Superdrug, Asos.com and department stores.

Smoke and Fire is the new autumn make-up trend from The Body Shop, taking its cues from the smouldering shades of nature, mixing earthy tones with a flash of light inspired by September skies. A Body Shop make-up artist can show you how to apply the look first, if you like. Autumn Leaves Compact costs 16 and comes in two palettes, Chestnut or Berry, while the Kajal Eyeliner, in charcoal, evergreen or steel, costs 7. From Body Shop stores or on www.thebodyshop.com.

Jemma Kidd, sister of Jodie, first made her name as a model, but has managed to carve a respected name for herself as a make-up artist and her products are high quality but at reasonable prices. The JK Signature Kit contains I-conic Eyes Pencil Liner in brown, Mannequin Skin Complexion Enhancer in golden neutral, Ultra Plush Volumising Mascara in stage black and Air Kiss Shine Lipgloss in dusky pink. It costs 15 from www.Asos.com.

Tom Ford's launch into make-up has been widely acclaimed (he sees lipstick as part of your fashion wardrobe) and now he is set to inspire with his new limited edition Black Orchid Collection which contains a pressed perfume in the most gorgeous compact, plus Black Orchid Lip Color and Nail Color. It costs 90 at Harvey Nichols from October 4 and Space NK from December 1.
