Classic Red lips look with Revlon Colorburst 'Crimson'
Hi everyone!
I’ve been doing more of subtle look lately so here’s a bold lips look with what else but the classic choice for bold lips..RED!
Bold lips in everyday wear look good with subtle eye and face makeup. It also makes a good combination with softly smoked eyes for a runway or themed look. Pair with neutral colors in clothing and accessories for best effect or at the maximum match with 1 piece of your attire- say shoes or belt or bag.
Read my bold red lips tutorial HERE.
Summary of this look –
On a well moisturized face, conceal required areas, apply light foundation ( I have skipped foundation here) apply reddish cheek tint on the apples of the cheeks with a light hand. Set with compact or loose powder. Alternatively , if using a powder blush, apply compact first and then apply blush. For the eyes, lightly smudge brown eye pencil on lid close to upper lash line and kohl on water line. Apply suitable base on lips ( lip liner, concealer/foundation) and apply red lipstick using brush for precise application.
