3 Ways To
Wear Red Lips This Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s
Day is best served with a bold red lip.
A red lip is sexy, it can be fierce, it demands attention, and it is the calling card of the vixen.
But if you are a girl who doesn’t normally wear red the
mere thought of that can be overwhelming!
If a red lip seems scary, or feels
like too much work, here are 3 easy ways
to slip into a sexy Valentine’s rouged moue.
lipliner and gloss |
1. Ease your way in to red by lightly
coloring your entire lip with a red lipliner, then adding a clear gloss.

2. Want something a little more
substantial but still keeping it muted? Shape your lip with a red liner then
pat a soft red lipstick on with your finger. You can control the intensity by
tapping on a little more or a little less depending on your mood.
In the picture above we kept it super soft and subtle.
3. Feeling a little more emboldened?
bold, matte, red lip |
Try
out a velvety matte red lip. Shiny red lips can slip and slide, and often men cringe at the thought of kissing them and getting it all over their face.
Matte is the easiest way to wear red as it doesn’t
move or bleed and stays on your lip rather than your glass. Or your man.
And it’s sexy.
