Putting on red lipstick is an art! It should be flawless and perfect for your skin tone. Many Indian women often apply dark lip colours without much thought and the end result. Bleeding red lips, red teeth or worse red stains on glasses look odd.
Here is the guide to apply red lipstick with élan and avoid such accidents:
Step 1. Buy a red lipstick that suits you. Look for a branded and non-transferable one.
Step 2. Scrub and moisturize your lips: The night before (or an hour before) you plan to apply a red lipper always prime your lips, flakey dry red lips look horrible. Scrub your lips with an old toothbrush or take some powdered sugar and scrub. Afterwards apply a thick coat of Vaseline.
Step 3. Blot the excess Vaseline gently on a tissue paper.
Step 4. Now dab some concealer or foundation on your lips. Foundation helps the red pop, so always follow this step for bright shades!
Step 5. Using a lip pencil draw the line. To draw a perfect line use join-the-dots way. Make dots all around your lip line and connect them.
Step 6. Use a brush to apply the red lipstick. Fill in small areas; start with the arch of your upper lip.
Step 7. Make it last long gently coating some loose powder on top. You can use loose compact powder or translucent powder. But use minimal quantity, the idea is to set your lipstick not colour it.
Step 8. For long wear repeat steps 6 and 7.
Get ready to flaunt your perfect red pout!
