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*
