Dramatic Red Lips

Red... Red wine. Red lips has been a fashion statement for centuries. From lip stains to vibrant Red lipstick even the greatest icons have often colored their pouts with blood red. This Fall it's on a huge rise... Instead of breaking it down into the blue-reds or orange-reds, this is true red. Many runways used dark lip liners to enhance the vamp look.
How do you apply red lipstick perfectly?
Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill in lips with lip liner first.
Apply lipstick. This is the most important part and it's very important that you apply correctly. This is where the lipstick applier (looks like a brush) comes in. You don't have to use it, but it helps you stay inside the line from the lipliner. If so, apply in a thin layer but enough to where there's no "nude" areas. If you're going to just use the stick of lipstick, apply in a thin layer. MAKE SURE TO GET THE INNER CORNERS! It's easy to see the inner corners of your mouth when you talk and nothing looks worse than having bold red lips and having white corners. Blot, and then apply a second layer to ensure that color stays for a long period of time.

The key is always to blot and reapply, it total helps with the longevity.

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick. !!!!
