If you want to add some drama to your look, then blue lipstick is always going to be a head-turner. It's time to ditch the classic red or nude and go with a bold blue. Why? Because life's too short, tbh.

The queen of blue lipstick is, of course, queen RiRi herself, who uses different shades to achieve different - but equally iconic - looks. Choose a lighter one to give you a pop candy kind of look, or go for a darker one to deliver vamp glam chic.

Blue is always going to be a daring look, so if you're not convinced just yet, we suggest trying one of the lower-cost and lighter options first. The lipsticks we have selected start at just £4, so there’s something for everyone’s budget. Because we know that payday is still a little far off...
