Red lipstick becomes each and every woman, no matter if you are blond, red-head or brunette, young and fresh or gained a solid experience along with few
dozen of wrinkles
Catherine Deneuve,
Susan Sarandon and Isabelle Huppert,
and Elizabeth Taylor prove it very well.
All you need is to find your perfect shade, texture. And don't forget about most important thing - self-confidence.
But be aware that red colour looks well only on impeccably smooth lips. So before you start to paint your pout give it a proper treatment.
Polish it with
Fresh's
Sugar Lip Polish or with soft toothbrush once or twice a week and apply moisturizer on daily basis. Choose what is best for you - budget products like
Vaseline's
Lip Therapy Original or trendy expensive stuff - price doesn't matter but your comfort is.
Red (and other vivid shades as well) needs a perfect frame. So don't skip contouring.
Classic
Maybeline's
Color Sensational Lip Liner (shade
Red) or
Elizabeth Arden's
Plump Up Lip Liner (shade
Fire Red 09) will help you to do the job.
Invest in a good lip brush: precise application = sophicticated look.
Real Techniques offers
Retractable Lip with synthetic bristles and
Chikuhodo -
