Don't be afraid ladies... Red lipstick does not have to look garish or tacky, it's all in he shade you use and proper application. Make sure your lips are moisturized, then pat a little of your concealer or foundation with a sponge onto your lips... This will alow the true pigment of the lipstick to come through. Line your lips with a nude pencil and fill in the lip, I prefer a nude tone to help prevent the colour from bleeding and as the colour wears you won't end up with a bright red ring around your mouth. Then fill in your lips with your red of choice, blot with a tissue... Instant glam! I like a matte lip for day but you can pop a little red gloss over the lipstick for a sexier evening pout. Keep the rest of your makeup quite fresh and simple, the lips should be the focul point of this look. My recomendations for universally flattering reds are Russian Red by MAC, Ruby Woo by MAC, Velvet Matte Lip Pencil by NARS, Really Red by CoverGirl and Fire and Ice by Revlon. Don't be shy ladies, add a little crimson to your pucker!! Remember Valentine's Day is just around the corner and red is the perfect date colour.
