Spice up your look in a jiffy by trading neutral lipstick for—drum roll, please—red. Scarlet lips exude confidence and glamour. Three simple steps to kissing your plain pout good-bye.
♥ Soften that pucker. Bold color calls attention to chapped lips. Exfoliate by brushing a wet toothbrush against lips before applying red. Follow with a moisturizing primer.
♥ Get in line. Light shades look fine smudgy, but look-at-me red demands a defined border. To create a steady edge, make a dot at the center of the top lip and at each of the upper peaks with a pencil in the same hue as your lipstick. Connect the dots with the liner. Then, from the peaks, draw downward and stop halfway. Finally, starting at each corner, go upward until you meet the initial line. On the bottom, begin at one corner and stop at the center; repeat on the opposite side.
♥ Fill with the right shade. As a rule, “deep red such as wine go best with light skin, while brighter shades like brick are better on olive or dark skin.
