IT'S generally accepted that if you are going for a red lip you should go easy on the eyes.

A slick of black liquid eyeliner is the usual go-to but what if you need, and like, a bit more definition?

Bobbi Brown has come to the rescue with a palette of nudes, launched to coincide with Valentine's Day, which are designed to be worn with a punchy red lip.

The Sultry Nude Eye & Cheek Palette, comes with four matte-to-metallic finishes, which can be blended to create definition without ruining the impact of the lips.

As with all Bobbi Brown products, there is some helpful advice how to wear the shadows on her website, including using the darkest shade as an eyeliner which results in a more natural look than liner.

The set also includes a flattering 'suits all' soft pink blush. I find that red lips can often make pale skin look a little too washed out.

It's a beautiful mirrored compact to carry around in your handbag and worth a pay-day splurge.

Bobbi Brown Sultry Nude Eye & Cheek Palette, £48, is available from House of Fraser in Glasgow and at www.bobbibrown.co.uk
