MAKEUP // 3 Steps To The Perfect Red Lip

A bold red lip is a statement that will never go out of fashion.

Whether you are glamming it up with a smokey eye for a hot evening look or just a simple pop of colour for your every day wear, you can't go wrong.

Here are a few tips to achieving that flawless long lasting red lip.

Before we start, I like to mention that when doing your foundation routine if you place a little over your lips as well it gives you a solid base to start.

1) Line It

Taking a lip liner, gently outline your lips. 

You can either take a red lip liner, just make sure that it is very close to the shade of red you are wanting to use. Or take a more neutral colour that will subtly  blend into your lipstick colour.

2) Fill It In 

Taking which ever shade of red you are after, fill in your lips. Try and have a steady hand and if you use short motions your less likely to go out of the line. Don't stress too much though, step three will correct any mishaps.

3) Conceal 

Using your concealer fix up any smudges or marks that are out of line. I find this easiest to do using liquid concealer and a small lip brush. This will also help hold this colour for longer and so it won't bleed as much.

Let me know if you love a good red lip! How do you keep it staying vibrant for longer? 

Lipstick and love! xx
