If there’s one way to boss up your beauty routine, it’s with red lipstick and big lashes. Of course, there’s red, and then there’s red. This is the playground of the power players; deeply pigmented, rich and pow-wow – a bolt of red is a one-way ticket to self-assured seduction. A glance backwards, and no such colour has ever been defined by confidence, sex appeal and fearlessness quite like red. Fast-forward to today, and red lipstick beholds a very similar tenet; a conduit of might, prowess and temerity, particularly in the feminist zeitgeist of today. A slick of rouge across lips means business – of any kind. So bite hard with BITE Beauty, breathe fire with Charlotte Tilbury and French kiss with Lancôme and Olympia Le-Tan.

For lashes, there’s fluttery, and then there’s flashy. Boss ladies don’t play in monkish circles, so the latter is your royal flush. Welcome to the Charlotte’s Web treatment: spidery, chunky and monumental. With a lash meter set to extreme, this is for those gutsy and full of game. Your wand is big, your product liberal, and the result? Mighty. With some wiggle-wiggle action, now is the time to bulk up. It’s all about the power lash that beseeches the question: are they real? Just add a pink power suit and a killer heel and run the world, boss beauty.
