Lady in Red

Not every woman thinks she can pull off the elegant red lips look, but I have faith in every one out there! It is a timeless look that will never fade and if done correctly, it can be pulled off with ease ;) Countless celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Audrina Partridge, Lauren Conrad and Marilyn Monroe have glamorized this look .There are a few essential steps in perfecting the red lips look. While a lighter complexion works best with red lips because it will make the lips "pop," that doesn't mean Chanel Red lips can't be adopted by any woman.

Try these few essential steps for perfecting this look. 


*Keep the rest of the face simple (no crazy eyeshadow girls!) Maybe even skip the eyeliner and just opt for some mascara on top and bottom lids to open up the eyes. 


*LIGHTLY dust your face with some powder and your cheeks with blush. 


*Ashunta Sheriff from Harper's Bazaar suggest lining the lips first because the lipstick "tends to bleed." 


*Now on to picking the perfect color! For ladies with a more pink complexion, plum shades are always a safe choice. Girls with a more yellow tone should try "warmer reds with a brown base." A color that is suitable for all complexions is M.A.C. Lipstick in Blaze

Another tip I learned from about.com is to not wear red nail polish if your going with the red lips but I personally don't think these two looks clash (as long as you keep the nails short and classy). I also learned that a lot of artists are starting to blend lipstick colors instead of using one shade. If one shade is too bright or two dark for you, don't fret!; just keep blending with other colors until you get that perfect shade. 

Goodluck Lipstick Ladies
