The catwalks and red carpet has literally exploded with a suffusion of oxblood lips, and from models to stars, we have seen everyone rocking the trend.

Rihanna, Taraji P. Henson & Joan Smalls all rocking the Oxblood trend

A rich, dark red  – a shade that’s suitable for all complexions – is the colour for lips at the moment, making a highly infectious trend we at SPICE are excited to try. And you can too, using our favourite oxblood products:

Step 1: Line lips with any red pencil of your choice.

Step 2: Fill your lips in using NARS’ Damned Velvet Matte lip pencil ($25), which is perfect for use as a lipstick because it contains emollient, non-drying ingredients.

Step 3: If you’re planning a glossy take on the trend, apply Burberry’s Oxblood Lip Glow No. 23 ($27) to the centre of the lips for a three dimensional finish.
