2012-08-1610 ways on how to use the classic red lipstick
Some readers told me they love it, but they don’t normally wear red lipstick because it doesn’t look nice. So here are 10 tips, on how to find and apply the right colour!
As I’m make-up artist and I work with different skin tones and make-up, I’ll be giving these tips from my own experiences.
There are many make-up brands that offer all kinds of red lipstick like expensive or cheap brands with different colours and textures.
You don’t need to spend a lot of money to find your right colour, because all the lipsticks are made with almost the same ingredients, some more creamy, some more shiny and so on …. There are many beauty bloggers who have probably written about it and maybe you are tired of the same tips, but it’s always good to get tips from different people; Each has its own way of working and a bit of more knowledge won’t kill anyone!
The tips:
1 – When buying a red lipstick, the most desired one, go to the colours that the store offers, some of the shops have their own people to help. You must try at least three different shades on top of your hand and see which one combines most with your skin tone. (Recommendation: do not test directly on to your lips for personal hygiene)
2 – For a medium skin tone I recommend red lipstick, like a true red shade.
3- For a fair skin tone I recommend red lipstick with a pink finish, or a lighter red.
6 – At least half an hour before you must exfoliate your lips, you can do it with any face scrub that you have at home. Or only with your own toothbrush.
7- 2 minutes before apply Vaseline to hydrate the lips.
8 – Always start with a lip liner that is the same colour or 1 shade darker (Fashion!), don’t let the lipstick come over the lip edges and make a mess
9 – Apply the lipstick always starting from the middle of the lips up until it meet the outlined, but remember don’t let the red comes over the lip liner, it’s there also to protect against blur.
10 – Now that you feel gorgeous with your red lipstick, if you want you can finish the loo with a gloss for a more glam look or leave it as it is with a matte finish.
Perhaps you think it is a lot of rules for a simple lipstick, but remember, you don’t need to do this every time you use a lipstick, but it is good at least once a week.
So girls I hope you enjoyed the tips and any questions just ask me…
Thank you for stopping by…
