Take me home or lose me forever, Red Lips

The red lip can be worn with many different eye looks, feel free to pair them with many looks and wardrobe options. Usually the red lip should be the focus of a look, be careful pairing a dark eye like a grey or black smokey eye with such a bold lip, although if you are looking for drama, that is a sure way to get it!
-Lip balm, nothing puts the kibosh on lusty lips like flaky lips.
-Lip liner as close to your lipstick color
-red lipstick, blue undertoned lipsticks work best with a variety of skin tones but don’t shy away from deep berries or dark wine colors either.
-a tissue
-a face powder or translucent powder
-concealor
-lipbrush
-thin concealor brush
Steps
1. Always start with well exfoliated lips, Lush has a killer lip scrub but a toothbrush across the lips with light circular motion will also do the trick
2. Moisturize, rub a balm into your lips but do not leave residue, wipe off what was not absorbed.
3. Sharpen your liner and line your natural lip line. I know that in an ideal world, unlike ours, we all have symmetrical lips. I must tell you, it is ok to go slightly above your natural lipline but be prudish with how much.
4. Fill in your entire lip, upper and lower, with the pencil, this will ensure the longevity of the color.
5. Apply the lipstick with a brush, not from the tube.
6. Blot on one ply of tissue
7. Hold that same ply flush against your lips and using the powder and a fluffy brush powder the tissue that is against your lips.
8. Reapply another coat with the brush
9. Dip your small concealor brush coated lightly in foundation and trace around your lip-iujiline. This will deter bleeding color as well and ensure that the edges of your lips look crisp.

There you go; a correctly executed red lip is like sex walking around on your face. People cannot look away. I disagree when people say that they cannot pull off a red lip. Yes, you can. It just takes the right shade of red and the right amount of spunk. The classic red lip surpasses time and trend.
