how to wear RED lipstick!


red is the symbol of power, beauty, sexiness and passion! we all want to wear red lips at 1 point or another :) Nothing beats the classic red lip look on the day! but choosing the right shade and the manner matters alot. this post will help you to create perfect smooth Sexy red lips!
1) SMOOTH LIPS : dry and flaky lips will be a disaster.use tooth brush to get rid of flakes! then apply lip balm or chap-stick to get super smooth lips! do it atleast 20-30 minutes before applying lipstick
2) BASE : Dust your lips with the help of powder to provide lipstick a base to hold onto.
3) SHADE: use the shade that matches your skin tone!

Red lipstick for Fair skin: 

blood red goes very well with fair toned skin. avoid pink undertones!


Red lipstick for Wheatish and duskier skin tones :


alot of shades suit this tone actually!burgundies, maroon, cherry all go well





Red lipstick for Darker tone :  

red with brownish in it will suit such tones. deeper shades is wat u are looking for :)



4) APPLY : use a transparent lip liner if you dont want it to stand out. or u can use red and blend it. apply lipstick with a brush and mix it well.( TIP: place a tissue paper between your lips and press it. it will absorb extra lipstick! now add another coat of lipstick over your lips. it will result in long lasting color )
if you want a wet look. add a bit of transparent gloss on your lower lip in the middle.
5) GO EASY WITH THE REST OF MAKEUP : you want your lips to stand out. so dont use heavy makeup on rest of your face. otherwise it will look a bit too much! and will b really hard to carry! neutral colors over eyes will do good (NUDE EYES)
6) DRESS : u can use red lips with blacks, whites and light hues! red with red is hard to carry but looks magnificent wen you pull it off!
7) ACCESSORIES : never wear red accessories with red! go for silvers, or gold or black!  but you can match up with red hand bag and red shoes IF you are NOT wearing red dress!
here you go! all set for a dazzling party !!
