Things You'll Need:
- Lip Primer ( I like M.A.C's Prep and Prime
- Red Lipstick
- Red Lipliner
- Sheer Powder
-
Step 1
To apply:
Although usually I do my lip color last, in the case of red lipstick I would apply it before your foundation in order to cover up any mistakes around the lips and to avoid the bleeding lipstick look.
It is always best, but not mandatory, to wear lipstick over a primer like MAC's Prep & Prime ($14.50). Not only does your lipstick not smear but it wears all day long! -
Step 2
After the primer, line lips with a complementary shade to your lipstick. It is not necessary for it to be the exact shade but should be something close enough to not draw attention away from the lipstick shade.
-
Step 3
With a thick line around the edges, blend towards the inside. For long lasting lip color pat with a loose powder before applying lipstick over the lipliner.
-
Step 4
To clean up your lines take stick concealer on a Q-tip carefully around the lips.
Always remember to blot and the finger trick (sucking on one finger and pulling out) to avoid lipstick on your teeth... tacky!
