Matching your makeup to your outfit can bring to mind bad family photos from the ‘80s but Reese Witherspoon has made a strong case for a matchy-matchy look at last night's premiere of her new film Home Again.

The Academy Award-winner took to the red carpet in a striking red Roland Mouret dress with a black lace trim and a bright, bold cherry red lip. The fierce look hit all the right notes and showed that colour co-ordinating isn’t just exclusive to your wardrobe choices.

For the rest of Witherspoon’s makeup, the actresses’ go-to makeup artist Molly Stern went for a complementing coral blush with a bronze undertone and a shimmery eye shadow with black eyeliner.

The mother-of-three accessorised her red-hot beauty look with a loose and effortless blowout. 
 
From Jessica Chastain’s glossy smile on the red carpet at Cannes, to the sexed-up pouts on the Kenzo runway, a glossy red lip remains the ultimate beauty statement. With spring just around the corner there is no better time to reset your beauty bag than by taking on Spring’s hottest lip shade.
