From an array of different coloured lipstains, I chose a burgundy, brownish-red colour called Harare. But I didn't apply it right away. Instead, I watched other editors in the office swipe their chosen colours across their pouts and shriek in delight at the results. The colours were vibrant and bold, all the things you would want in a lip product."
