ALL WE NEED IS SOME RED LIPSTICK Bright red lips are a classic look that will never go out of style! This bold lip look will accentuate your lips and brighten your smile. However, it's not as simple as grabbing the nearest red lipstick and swiping it on. There are a few things to consider if you're looking to master the perfect red lip. Choosing the Right Shade If you're looking to rock a red lip, the first step is to choose the correct shade for your skin tone! Your most flattering shade will enhance your features and brighten your complexion. If you have a cool undertone, your most flattering red lipstick shade will contain cooler blue and purple pigments. Warmer undertones will benefit from red lipstick that contains a warmer red-orange pigment. If your undertone is neutral, you can pull off virtually any red lipstick! Prepping the Lips Now that you've found the perfect shade for your skin tone, it's time to prep your lips. Because red lipstick is so bright, it can easily highlight and accentuate any roughness or dryness on the lips. Start the preparation process with a lip scrub. The scrub will gently slough away any dead skin cells and smooth the texture of your lips. Follow up with a hydrating lip mask or balm to prevent your lips from drying.
