The Best Red Lip Makeup for Your Skin Tone

Red: The color of passion, the color of love. It’s probably the sexiest color around and when painted on your lips, it’s dynamite. Like with all lip makeup colors, certain shades of red look better on some skin tones than others. Because of this semi-frustrating fact, I am constantly asked by readers to help them find the best red for them. I highly recommend MAC products, there lasting ability, and pigment is excellent. And if you are modeling, or have a engagement this is the cosmetic line to work with!
The Best Red Lip Makeup for Your Skin Tone

Before finding your ideal shade of red lip color, check out these quick tips for making your application of this semi-tricky shade to last:
1. First, wipe off any lip balm or moisture on your lips as this will keep the lipstick from sticking.
2. Try using a clear (or reverse) lip liner to line and fill in your lips. This will help the red color last longer when applied on top.
3. For a precise look, use a lip brush to carefully apply your red lipstick to your lips. Or, if you want more of a stained look, use a fingertip to apply.
4. After you have applied a strong lip shade, dip a clean lip blush in a little concealer and gently trace the outside of your lips to ensure a clean, sharp line.

AND THERE  YOU GO!

Tips to Apply the Mascara

Tips to Apply the Mascara

Mascara is one of the most essential and versatile makeup products: It can be worn alone for a subtle effect, or combined with other makeup for striking and noticeable results.

  • How to use a lash comb: Apply mascara at the lash base. Then wiggle the lash comb through to the tips of your lashes.  Get rid of clumps without them by removing excess mascara from the wand. Wipe wand on tissue, this eliminates blobs before you start.
  • Define the line “Pushing” black eye shadow into the line of the eyelashes will create an illusion of thicker lashes.
  • Thin, short brushes are best. A thinner brush allows you to get into the corner of eyes. Short brushes give you more control.
  • Use an eyelash curler Curling lashes gives eyes the appearance of being wider and brighter. Shoot warm air from your blow-dryer on the mascara curler for 3-5 seconds to warm it up before curling lashes. Touch it first to make sure it’s not too hot. It’s a myth that you have to curl lashes before you apply mascara. You can curl lashes after mascara application, just make sure the mascara is dry first.
  • For Longer Eyelashes Hold your brush in a vertical position, apply your mascara pulling the brush up, this will feel odd at first but it definitely works.
  • Allow the first coat of mascara to dry before applying the second coat in the same manner
