Red Lips are always a fool-proof way to get glam ! Here are some ideas to fool-proof your Red Lips.
1. It is not all the Same Red !
Rule of thumb to choose your red:
Warm Tones looks better on orangey reds! Like the MAC Chilli.
Cool Tones should use Bluish Reds like the MAC Ruby Woo.
2. Prep Your Lips
Make sure your lips are well scrubbed and moisturized before you put bold shades. Also priming your lips with a little foundation will help with those little lines.
3. The Technique
Use a Liner or even Better a Lip stain like Jose Maran Lip stain to get a perfect border.
For a perfect Matt look using a lip brush is the way to go
4. Finishing touches
Use a clear gloss for an almost matt look or a dewy lip look. Or make it even better with some lip gloss with red hues.
5. Make it better
Add some gold lipstick/gloss/glitter on the center on your lips to add more oopmh.
Use a clear glitter glue and add some red glitter all over the lips.
Lip Scrub, Body Shop Born Lippy, YSL Lip Stick, Mac Sheer Lipgloss, Pauls Lipgloss, Nars Gold Lipstick, YSL golden Lip Gloss, Pop Lipstain.
