How to Do a Red Lip With Makeup

Red lips can appeal to many looks.

Red lipstick is a timeless classic that can be suited to any the occasion. Glamorous makeup often requires gloss, but a more casual look uses a lesser tone of red and not gloss. To get a softer look to your lipstick, dab your lips with a tissue to lighten the makeup. Red lipstick comes in many colors. Generally, an orange tinge to the lipstick will match the makeup to the facial tone of any woman.
