On Yesterday's post I showed you a few images which had a theme in common: Red Lips. A red lip is a makeup statement which has never gone and will never go out of style, since its invention many iconic women have worn it and still now we can see it on many runways. I think that anyone can look gorgeous with a red lipstick on, it's just a matter of finding the right shade or texture depending on your skin tone. In this post I'm going to show you how any women can pull off a red lip, in addition I'll show you different techniques for applying it in the best way.
STEP 1: Which is your perfect shade?

Final Tips
- To achieve an easier application don't forget to apply some sort of balm or chapstick before.
- To achieve a bigger pay-off of the colour in the bullet, you can apply some concealer to your lips to conceal the natural lip colour.
- To perfect the edges use concealer on a liner brush or a concealer brush.
