We’re huge fans of bold lips for spring and summer! They make the perfect accessory to a pastel outfit or that floppy straw hat that you’ve been waiting all winter to bust out. While pinks are great for a daytime look, red lips are a must for a night out! We teamed up with Artistry by Danika to teach you how to create that enviable perfect red lip. Before you know it, you’ll be rockin’ bold lips everyday and lookin’ like a pro when you do it!
Supplies:
Lip color palette or lipstick
Concealer
Lip scrub
Lip brush
Lip liner
Cotton swabs
Step 1:
Make sure lips are smooth and flake free before applying lipstick.
Sara Happ Lip Scrub is a fantastic way to exfoliate the delicate lip area.
Step 2:
Start by applying your favorite red lipstick with a lip brush.
Using a lip brush will press the lipstick further into the lips, giving you a longer-lasting pout.
Step 3:
Next, if you like to use a lip liner, softly line the lips after applying the lipstick. Lining after will give you a softer look, rather than a harsh lip liner look.
Step 4:
Clean up any mistakes or uneven edges with a q-tip dipped into concealer.
Step 5 (BONUS TIP!):
Some of my favorite reds that are great on many skin tones are:
Ruby Woo by MAC, Fire & Ice by Revlon, Russian Red by MAC and Come To Bed Red Liquid Lipstick by Butter London.
