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.
- 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.
- 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.
- When you have completed applying the lip liner, apply your lipstick, and…
- Voila! You have crimson red lips!

This will make the outline of your lips appear fuller and as if you have bigger lips.
- Apply a similarly toned lipstick to match the lip liner and your lip shade. (more…)
