Creating the Perfect Red

Creating the Perfect Red lip can be done in a few ways:
Choosing a red lipstick is key it needs to be a colour that suits you and that you're comfortable with wearing. There are so many shades to choose from these days make sure to shop around.


A prefect red lip takes time and care

Natural day:
Start with applying the lipstick using a lip brush this will give you more Precision. Once the lipstick is applied use a lip pencil which matches the lipstick and apply it to the outside of the lip. This will shape the lip and give the lip a finished polished look. Apply lip gloss to finish this will make the lip look really luscious.

Stained:
If you’re looking for more of a stained finish to your lip, use a tissue to blot off the lipstick. The lips will be left with the remains of the lipstick. Again you can apply your lip gloss over to give a fresh finish or leave as.

Evening Vamp: 
Start with a lip pencil that matches or is slightly darker than the lipstick. Apply the pencil to the outline of the lip. Once the edges have been filled in use the pencil on the rest of the lip. When the whole lip is filled in with the pencil add the lipstick using a lip brush and blot reapply the lipstick again, this will give your lips longevity for the evening ahead. Apply a lipcote to the lip and leave for ten minute. Apply lip gloss, the gloss will keep if fresh and vibrant for the evening. Lip gloss is the only item you’ll need for the evening to top it up.
