Marilyn Monroe, Christina
Aguilera, Gwen Stefani. What do they all have in common?
They are huge fans of red, bold lips. Me too but when
I first tried red lips, it looked horrible. After
some experimentation, I finally figured out why!
Tip 1: Use a lip liner.
Contrary to popular believe, you are not supposed
to match your lip liner with your lipstick. Match
it with your lips because the point of a lip liner
is to accentuate your lips, not your lipstick.
Tip 2:
If you have thin lips or if you just want poutier
lips, use a gloss on top. This will make the color
underneath last longer.
Tip 3:
Use one of those long lasting lipstick. One side with
color, the other side with gloss. No doubt you will
be munching on something throughout the day during
the holidays. Nothing more annoying than reapplying
every hour.
Recommend: Revlon's Colorstay Lipstick, Mac's Prowear
lipstick, Maxfactor's lipstick.
For those with thin
lips: apply
gloss on top of your red lipstick. The trick is to
make them look bigger. Matte red lipstick will shrink
your lips, it did to mine.
Recommend: MAC red lipsticks and glosses, Clarin's
Joli Rouge (my personal favorite)
For those with full
lips: you will
look gorgeous in matte red lipstick. It will look
classy and elegant.
Recommend: Revlon's Matte collection lipstick (I'm
in love with this one), Mac's matte lipstick.
