The Power Of Red Lipstick

Brighter lip colors are more likely to smear, bleed, or feather, so take precautions. Some products like Benefit’s DeGroovie and DuWop’s Reverse Lip liner can keep your red in place when applied along and just outside the lip line.

You may also want to prime your lips with a big of foundation or powder. Keep lips exfoliated and healthy. There are some delicious lip scrubs out there (think The Scrub), and when not red-ing it, always use an ultra-moisturizing lip balm or chapstick.

Ditch your red lip liner! Nothing is worse than looking in the mirror after lunch and noticing a red line around the outside of your normal lips. Instead, find a nude color very close to your natural lip color. Line and also fill in with the pencil, as this will give your red something to grab on to.

Give your color a long-lasting boost. After your red lipstick is expertly applied, use a one-ply piece of tissue and hold it over your closed lips, and apply a translucent finishing powder with a fluffy brush. Then reapply your color from the tube.

Use that lip brush that’s been taking up space on your vanity. You don’t have to pack it in your bag necessarily, but painting on that first application with your lip brush will ensure a more even coverage and greater control. Enjoy, the power of red lipstick and throw some red lipstick kisses!
