So you want to try red for the first time at the next holiday soiree? Or perhaps you're already a red lipstick junkie but want to prevent it from bleeding and smudging to keep it looking fresh...
VIVA GLAM 1 and Russian Red by M-A-C are so versatile that they can work on skin tones from fair to deep.
If you desire a retro matte look reminiscent of Jackie O, Marilyn, or Gwen Stefani: try Ruby Woo or Lady Danger lipstick with Cherry lip pencil by M-A-C Cosmetics.
A classic red lip that stops traffic, like a starlet in a classic movie is well worth the extra steps. Layering products helps your lipstick from wearing off unevenly without worrying about touch ups all night.
How to apply:
- Start by moisturizing with Kheils lip balm and then blot to remove excess emollients
- Using a sponge, gently apply a thin layer of M-A-C blot powder all over your lips, above and outside the lip line
- Apply a few coats of your favorite color, then finish with a lip brush (the retractable kind is super handy - you can throw it in a clutch or your pocket with your lip product).
- For a more dramatic defined look, choose a pencil that contrasts a bit with the focus color. Blend with your brush, blot and dab lipstick one last time.
- To prevent bleeding use concealer around the edges of your lip all around the lip line.
Happy Holidays,
LP
P.S. Don't forget to drink though a straw all night!
