Get Gorgeous Red Lips

Do you have trouble wearing red lipstick? Don't know how to apply it without it smudging? Well follow this tutorial and you'll never avoid red lipstick again!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Red lip liner of your choice
Red lipstick of your choice
Red or clear lip gloss of your choice
Q-tips (for clean up and touch-up)

Step 1

First, you want to start off with your lips clean and smooth. If you have chapped lips or need to exfoliate, grab some lip balm and a pinch of sugar. Put on the lip balm, and dab the sugar on your lips and smoosh your lips together (I don't the smoosh is a word, but you catch my drift).
Step 2

Lip Liner

OK! Now that you're lips are nice and smooth, get that red lip liner and line those lips. Try to be as perfect as possible! If you make a mistake, use your q-tip. It's practically a makeup eraser! After lining your lips, fill them in with your liner. Smile, so you can color in every inch of lip that is visible!
Step 3

Lipstick

Now get out your red lipstick, and fill in those lips! One coat should be enough. If you put on too much it will smudge, so if this happens, just kiss a tissue so some of it comes off. Or you can kiss a letter and send it out! :-)
Step 4

Lastly, get out your red or clear gloss, and put some right in the center of your lips. This draws attention to the widest part of the lip and it wont look like you fell lip first into vaseline! Blow a kiss so you can blend the gloss in, and you're done!
