Tips for Wearing Red Lipstick
Red lipstick creates a bold and sensual look when used properly.
However, when it is used improperly it can create a makeup disaster
straight from a horror flick. If you have always dreamed of wearing
red lipstick but have been afraid of trying this bold look then you
should follow these tips.
Tips for Wearing Red Lipstick #1 Select the Right Shade of Red
Everyone can wear a red lipstick. However, not every shade of red is
right for every woman. To select the right shade of red you first
need to decide if your skin tone is warm or cool. After you figure
this out you will be able to select shades of red that are
complimentary to your skin tone. You will also need to take into
consideration what undertones your skin has. For example if you have
pink tones in your skin then you will want to look for blue-based
reds, and if you have yellow tones in your skin then you will want
to look for brown-based reds.
Tips for Wearing Red Lipstick #2 Keep Things in Balance
Like any makeup application, to create a beautiful overall look
using red lipstick you need to keep your face in balance. Because
red lipsticks create such a bold mouth you will need to downplay the
rest of your makeup to keep your face in balance. This means
creating a neutral eye and keeping your blush pale and simple.
Tips for Wearing Red Lipstick #3 Try to Nail Things Down
When you wear red lipstick you probably should stay away from red
nail polish. This is because your nails can clash with your lips, or
they can create a look that is too harsh. To keep things feminine
and soft you should try using a clear polish, a French manicure, or
a neutral color on your nails.
Tips for Wearing Red Lipstick #4 Put a Band-Aid On It
When you wear red lipstick you will need to use a lip liner to keep
it from bleeding into your foundation. Select a lip liner that is
the same color as your lipstick. Then line the lips on the inside of
your natural lip line. Fill in your lips with the lip liner and then
apply your red lipstick. This will help your red lipstick to last
longer and it will keep it from bleeding.
Tips for Wearing Red Lipstick #5 Pucker Up and Blow
One problem that women have with red lipstick is that it gets on
their teeth. To reduce the chances that this will happen, you can do
two things. First of all, after you apply your lipstick place your
finger in your mouth, gently close your lips around your finger, and
then pull then pull your finger out of your mouth. This will remove
the excess lipstick from your lips. Next blot your lips on a tissue.
This will help to remove excess lipstick and it will also help to
smooth out your lip color.
Tips for Wearing Red Lipstick #6 Dont Forget Your Hair
If your lips are going to be the center of attention for your
complete look then you will also want to select a hairstyle that
compliments your strong lips. If you are trying for a soft feminine
look then you will want to keep your hairstyle soft and wavy. On the
other hand if you are using red lipstick to create a very dominate
look then you should reflect this with a hairstyle that has sharp
angles.
