Red lipstick is a fashion staple that has been seen on the faces of the world's most beautiful women throughout the ages - from Cleopatra to Queen Elizabeth to the woman next door. Whenever you think it might be gone for good, it makes a huge comeback. According to the fashion magazines, it's the epitome of chic elegance and yet many women assume they can't wear it! Here we show you how.
Rule No. 1: The simpler the rest of the face, the bigger the pop. Go light on the eyes and the blush, otherwise you’ll risk looking like a clown. Here’s how to do it: Skip eyeliner and go only for mascara (black for brunettes, brown for blondes and redheads), making sure to apply to bottom lashes (it opens up your eyes). Dust face with powder and cheeks with a soft blush.
Rule No. 2: Line both the outside and inside of your lips, before filling in with color as red lipstick tends to bleed. Apply lipstick with a lip brush for a neater look.
Rule No. 3: Pick the right color. If your complexion is pink, you'll look better in plum shades. Women with yellow skin undertones are flattered by warmer reds that have a brown base, according to celebrity makeup artist Jemma Kidd in the December 2005 issue of Harper's.
Rule No. 4: Don't let nails clash! Non-red nail polish is far better when you're going red on the lips. A clear polish or light color is cool, and black polish is a trend that shows no sign of going away anytime soon. If you want to go red on the nails, make sure the color matches your lips.
Rule No. 5: Blend your own red! This is something most makeup artists do, in order to create the perfect hue. If you've bought a red lipstick shade that's too bright, dark or whatever, don't throw it away. Instead, experiment with other lipstick shades you have on hand to create the perfect red for you!
