MUD Lipstick in Cocoa Berry, $4.50, available from Woolworths.

“I love wearing a red lip to make my face look fresh and vibrant. I'm always looking for a lipstick that is nourishing, easy to apply and has great colour pay-off and MUD's Crimson Breeze lip oil does exactly that. The beautiful, rich warm red can be worn as a stain for those who love a natural red lip, or can be layered as a bold lip. As a makeup artist I love lip colours that are versatile.”

Since some of the others on that list are $36, I guess?
