Red lipstick is a beauty product that transforms the face. He was once a symbol of power, class, elegance and freedom. Red lipstick is versatile — its color never goes out of style — a simple makeup item that goes well with basic or party outfits, and no matter the occasion, it makes the lips the center of attention.
O incredible.club decided to make a list of useful tips for painting lips, with the classic and timeless red lipstick.
1. Choose red lipstick according to your skin tone
For cold skin with pink undertones, it is best to choose the raspberry-red palette. Now, if your skin is warm with golden undertones, go for orange-red.
2. Mix shades of red
Regarding the previous topic, the shades of red range from orange to wine. If you’re looking for a totally new and unique shade, mix the lipsticks you have at home.
3. Use matte lipsticks
Opt for matte lipsticks for a long-lasting effect. Avoid those with shine, as they run and last less time.
4. Exfoliate your lips
The mouth will be the protagonist of your look, then try to eliminate dry skin and impurities with a natural exfoliant. You can use sugar and honey or sugar and olive oil. Mix the ingredients, massage with fingertips in circular motions, rinse and moisturize.
5. Contour and fill lips carefully
Outline the mouth with a lip liner. First, trace an “X” below the cupid’s bow, continue the outline along the lip line and, lastly, fill in with the same pencil. This step by step will make your makeup last longer.
6. Apply it with a brush
While applying the lipstick directly to the lips is irresistible, the lip brush gives better results.
7. Take off the excess
The lipstick should stay on your lips. Remove the excess with a tissue, this way you will avoid staining your teeth, glasses or cutlery when eating.
8. Don’t go overboard with eye makeup
Bet on a simple makeup for the eye contour. Emphasize them with mascara and fine eyeliner, but forget about fancy shadows.
9. Combine lips and nails
The best way to show off classic red is to wear it on your lips and nails. Don’t forget to apply red nail polish to make the outfit stand out.
10. Match the outfit to your face
When dressing, try to use neutral colors (beige, white, gray) so that your face is the center of attention. Black dress and red lips is a classic and timeless combination. Remember to avoid colors that will compete with red, like violet, for example.
