I’ve always had a deep appreciation for red lips because it’s bold without trying too hard. Deep red lips give you all the drama without half of the time it would take you to do a smokey eye. Red lips can turn your everyday makeup look into something new instantly. Red lips are also very versatile; they can easily be worn during the day and night. For the daytime, you should do a neutral eye using colors that match your skin tone. A light contour like this Fashionista has here. Long mascara coated lashes is a signature for this Fashionista.
To achieve this look, you need to apply your face makeup as usual. This Fashionista recommends using Chanel Vita Lumière Aqua, because it’s very light while still providing coverage. She also states that it’s smells very feminine. A little goes a long way, which I personally feel is a plus. Then move on to contouring and highlighting your face, you can use the NYX Wonder Stick. For my ladies who have a deeper skin tone like me, Sephora offers a contour and highlight stick that’s deep enough for our skin tone. Next you will need a neutral eyeshadow of your choice. This Fashionista used the Too Faced Natural Matte palette for her eyes. For her brows she used the Maybelline Brow Drama. To finish the eye look she used Maybelline’s Colossal Lash. Lastly, line your lips and apply your favorite red lipstick.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To complete this classic but dramatic look you will need a lightweight but full coverage foundation, your favorite neutral shadows, and lengthening mascara. Contouring and highlighting is optional, but for those who want a light contour, a contour and highlight duo is the way to go. For your finale, you will need a red lipstick. This Fashionista is also a beauty YouTuber, and has a similar look on her channel Leah Lynn. With this combination you will be sure to turn some heads!
