The Red

Red lips, its more than just pulling out the latest hue and slicking it on. Its actually quite the procedure if you want that stunning, classic look. Red lips are timeless and when well done they are as much of classic as the little black dress!

You have to start by applying a conditioner to your lips , since you don't want your red lips to be slick or slippery, after a minute wipe it off , a  natural based lip balm is perfect something like lucas' pawpaw balm. Make sure no cracks are visible, leaving flakage and cracks is a classic mistake women make when doing the whole 'red lip thing'. To overcome the flaking and cracking exfoliate them using a warm damp wash cloth, this should be done especially in the winter.

To avoid the spillage of color onto your skin , line your lips with a red lip liner , extra care lining your cupids . with the same lip liner fill your lips in (don't be afraid) Its better to use lip brush to fill in your lipstick for a better control, start at the bottom lip and work your way up . Avoid mistakes by applying small strokes , its very hard to remove red lipsticks.

smear your lip gloss - clear, or red only at the center of your  bottom and upper lip. this will make your lips look larger and more full . Neon shades of red with a matte finish is most in at the moment, however most reds are timeless. mwa!
