That Perfect Red Pout!

Another huge trend of the season is "The Red Statement Lip". Even Kate Moss is rocking the look for her new collaboration with Rimmel.

Many women shy away from this colour as they feel that it doesn't suit them or that it is too high maintenance. Lipstick on your teeth ladies is so NOT a good look. It can also be hard to choose which type of red to go for??? Blue Red, Orange Red, Brown Red........???????

Here are some tips from Makeup World:
1. Fair skin - Choose a Blue or Pinkish Red
2. Olive/Yellow/Tanned - Golden, Coral or Orange Red works well
3. Dark skin - Deep red

It is a good idea to try lipsticks at a make-up counter and ask a make-up artist to choose your perfect red.

Some tips for Application:

1. Apply a lip treatment to your lips - Not Vaseline as this can actually make your lips worth. Something with Shea Butter is much better. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream is amazing!
2. Apply foundation over the lip area
3. Fill in the whole lip area with your lip pencil
4. Apply your lipstick with a lip brush
5. Blot your lips
6. Powder with loose powder and a powder brush
7. Re-apply your lip colour
