RED LIPSTICK!

Oh hey. Yeah I'm a little late posting this, but here I go!

RED LIPSTICK. 

It can come off a bit intimidating, but when worn right it can look HOT and will spice up your look 100%.

WHAT TO DO:  

1. red lipcolors are definitely NOT all the same. Warm reds compliment warm undertones while cool reds compliment cool undertones. Tips to figure that out: If silver jewelry looks better than gold on you then you have a cool undertone and the other way around :) This youtube video of Michelle Phans below can help you out!

2.  Some people conceal their lips before applying red lipstick, but it's optional. I would start off by applying a lip balm though.

3. Line your lips!  Don't just line them though fill them completely in! 

4. Apply lip color. Preferably with a lip brush. I like to use the MAC 316 lip brush. 


 5. Outline your lips with a concealer for a more defined look. This step is also optional.

For a more matte look don't apply a gloss on top but if you want shiny red lips go right ahead! 



After this you should have the perfect red lips :)
