It's The Most Wonderful Time of The Year

24 days till christmas!

This is the month of dressing up and christmas parties. One of my favourite looks for the holiday season in red lips with a dewy glow*

Here are some tips for achieving this look.

When choosing your lipstick colour, get professional opinions. There are a million colours of red with a million undertones that do not suit a million people. You also have to choose what you are comfortable with because I find that tanned people suit the bright and orange reds, but if that doesn't say YOU then it won't SUIT you. So bring an honest friend and make a day of it!

When you choose the right colour for your lips, create a flawless canvas (your face)...give yourself a mini facial, exfoliate, moisturise, conceal - conceal outside your lip line also, apply liquid foundation and powder.

Line your lips with a similar colour but please do not go too far outside your natural lip line, you could end up looking like a clown - if you want fuller lips, choose a red lip plumping gloss and put it on top of your red lipstick*

Apply your chosen lipstick colour and with a conceal brush conceal around your lips to prevent the colour from bleeding as the day/night goes on

That takes care of the lips, now for the dewy glow!

Get a shimmer powder and apply it right on your cheek bone, apply a light bronzer on your cheeks with a soft pink/peach blush!

When doing red lips, I tend to like the eyes to be natural - gold shimmer, thin eye liner and mascara. This way your lips are the focus and you look fresh not messy!

Enjoy*
