This electrifying color is perfect for special occasions, date night or whenever you want to turn heads.
Perhaps the most iconic red make-up look is the sultry red lip. Shades of red range from candy apple red to deep blood hues. They come in high gloss finishes or matte.
Choose the one that helps you create the look you are trying to achieve. Red pigment has a tendency to “run” or “bleed,” especially if you have fine lines around your lips.
To help prevent this from happening, use a lip liner to outline your lips before you apply the lipstick.
Just because all eyes are on beautiful red lips, doesn’t mean that the rest of your make-up can’t incorporate this magical color. Red eye shadow can be used to complement an outfit or to simply bring a bit of drama to your eyes. Not ready to commit to red eye shadow?
A red eye liner can bring a little pop of color without committing to too much drama.
Red blush on cheeks can give an old-fashioned rag doll appearance, but if blended correctly, the red pigment can give your skin a healthy glow. Just make sure that you don’t put on too much red colored blush. Red is a very potent dye, so a little goes a long way.
Be sure to have plenty of make-up remover handy if you add a red pigment to your make-up routine. The dye can be hard to remove from skin. This is why it is important to allow enough time to apply the make-up.
One mistake using red pigment can necessitate a time consuming fix and may make you late for your very important date.
