One way to brighten up any gloomy day is a pop of color, perhaps in the form of a red lip. I've always leaned towards red lips as opposed to a hot pink (seen here) or a bright coral, it's timeless and goes with just about every skin tone and outfit. Simple black and white with a bold lip is always a chic yet classic look for me.
