I can't believe I'm actually about to write this, but it's true.. Fall is almost here! Come Autumn, all the tones go deeper and hues come out in gorgeous plums and reds. A red lip is seen on almost every woman looking to be the ultimate classy chic bride from September to March! The look is easier than it seems! I gave Alissa a bridal look that is perfectly easy on the eyes with lovely eyes and a killer dramatic pout.
A red lip has some essential steps needed to pull it off.
Firstly,
match the undertones of the lipstick with the undertone of your skin. If you have a cool skin tone, such as pink, then the red shade you choose needs to have undertones of blue or purple. Alissa has very pinkish hues in her skin, so this deep blue-red lipstick by Mary Kay called Red Salsa was perfect with her and topped with a deep pinkish red gloss. If you have warmer tones in your skin such as yellow, then more orange based reds are best.
Conceal around the lip line. Blend a concealer that is one slight shade lighter than the skin tone around the mouth stopping at the lip line. This creates the appearance that the lips are slightly prominent and gives a clean edge.
Choose a lip liner in the same shade family as the color you are using and line the lips. Correct any shape concerns. Fill in the liner.
Fill in the lip color with a lip brush. Use the edge of the brush to create a smooth, straight line along the lip line. Blot to adhere the color to the lips and remove any excess, then fill in again.
Top with a gloss of your choice and you have yourself a gorgeous red lip!
