The lockdown has been hard on one and all. Most of us have resorted to a strict cocktail of sweatpants, comfy tees, makeup (restricted to video calls!), and greasy hair. Well, not anymore! As the world celebrated Lipstick Day earlier this week, makeup enthusiast and Bollywood Diva Ananya Panday initiated Instagram's latest #RedAndReadyAgain challenge - because there's nothing a red lipstick can't solve!

The Lakme India brand ambassador who has been missing her daily dose of makeup just like the rest of us, took to Instagram challenging her followers to spice up their day with their favourite red lip color. Within no time, the internet was buzzing with women slaying Lakme's #RedAndReadyAgain challenge with the ultimate red pout.

The lip color is meant to be seen and admired, and no woman should ever feel like they don't deserve to be seen and admired. Rock a red lip, ladies, whether it be for any special occasion or your own. #redandreadyagain with @lakmeindia Thank you @mrunalofficial2016 💛 Girls go flaunt yours @shraddhabee @kahinii @rameet_sandhu
