Now it’s your turn to turn heads. Here are a few tips to help you create the most kissable red lips of all time.
Red pigment tends to “bleed” or “run” so be mindful when applying red lipstick. Be precise in your application. Use a lip brush for a more accurate aim.
Match your lip liner to the exact color of your natural lips or simply use a concealer around your lips to help keep your lipstick in place. Applying lip balm after you have applied your lip stick can also help to prevent the lipstick from bleeding.
To draw even more attention to your luscious lips, keep the rest of your make-up subtle.
This is an especially important rule to follow for a daytime look. If you do extravagant make-up on your eyes or a bright blush, paired with a bright red lip, you are likely to look “over done.”
To draw attention to your lips, you will have to keep the rest of your make-up simple. For evening, you can add a little more drama to your look. Consider applying a little touch of red lip stick to your cheeks and blend. This will help to unify your look.
You can also play-up your eyes with a smokey shadow for an evening look. Nothing can ruin the dramatic look of a red lip like having red teeth. To help prevent this, blot your lips after you have applied your lipstick.
Another trick to help keep your lipstick from ruining your smile is to dust your lips with a translucent powder. Try to use a straw when consuming beverages too, or you run the risk of transferring lipstick to your teeth or leaving lip marks on your glass.
