Basic Makeup Tips on Getting the Perfect Red Lips…

Here are the step by steps to getting red lips and how to make them look perfect.

1. Conceal your entire lip edge so that you can basically create a new (even) one. Try and get one that is retractable–you’ll need it for sep 6. Here is one of my favorite retractable concealer pen suggestion for you, babe!

2. Make symmetrical dots with a red lip pencil like this one, on the peak of you lip points, then, into the center, like a V. Next, make two more dots on the corners of your mouth and then into the center edge of your bottom lip.

3. Connect the dots with your lip pencil either by free-hand, or by using the edge of a business card.

4.Use a lip brush to apply your red lipstick. Here is one of my favorites–and it has clean ingredients! This will help you get a clean(er) edge.

5. I am not going to lie, applying red lipstick (or any bold lipstick choice) can be a pain in the booty! Sometimes that red lipstick ends up in very very random places. So use a concealer that either has a brush on the end, or use a concealer brush and apply it around the edges of your lip line. Your lips will look professionally done because they will look polished and not messy.

6. Now just sit and stare at the pretty art work on your face. Yeah…you just did that.
