Crimson Red Lips for The Olive Skinned Girl

October 1, 2012

Red lips will never go out of style. The lip-look is a classic  way to spruce up any outfit and is elegant and timeless. For those olive toned girls, try a warmer red, which brightens up the face.

  1. To make sure that your lips are ready for red lips always make sure your lips are not dry. Drink plenty of water and keep your lips moisturized with a lip balm. Another trick to keep your lips looking smooth is by using a damp toothbrush brush lightly over your lips until they are completely smooth. This will allow the color to glide onto the lips.
  2. After you have moisturized your lips, line your lips with a color matching your lipstick. Lining the lips allows you to have a perfect guide to follow when applying the lipstick so it does not bleed onto the outer-lip skin.
  3. When you have completed applying the lip liner, apply your lipstick, and…
  4. Voila! You have crimson red lips!
