How to rock the Red Lips

                                                             Smokey Eyes and Strong Lips                                                       


I have never been this scared to post my pic on this blog.
Reasons :-
  • Strong make up
  • RED lips 
Yeah , the dreaded Red lips .
I am not even 18 , ok, Dont thrash me if it don't look good . I can NEVER ever wear this look out of my home, Just because of the simple reason that  it 's TOO strong for my Young demeanor :P

But maybe , when I am 23 , I will dare to rock it outside my own shell . Till then , Pinks , coral and peaches are my only friend :)

This post is just for experimentation and testing my own limits , After all thats what blogs are for . I would love your tips and thoughts on this particular strong look . But please dont be very brutal with my attempt sad smileys

OMg , I am sooo scared .
Ok , now on the topic .


WHAT WILL YOU NEED ?
  • Red tint / Matte red lipstick ( Bourjois and TBS make a good one)
  • Lip brush
  • Angeled brush  ( To define the cupid bow , Thanks Rati for this tip )
  • Loose powder( I used Oriflame loose powder)
  • Fluffy brush (to dust the powder on the lips)
  • Tissue









I used a very inexpensive lipstick , Oriflame Hydra comfort lipstick in Cranberry crush , Its not a true red but I used it like a tint ( applying with a lip brush , blotting and then powdering . I repeated this step couple of times and stopped when I got the desired depth )
Then applied the Oriflame Giordani Gloss supreme in "Absolute red" with a lip brush.
and Voila ! I got the sexy Red pout  ;)


FACE

  • Ponds TM
  • Colorbar Blush in Just earth
EYES
  • Herbal kohl as base
  • Any black shadow on upper and lower lashline
  • Loreal Volume shoking
  • Eyelash Curler
  • Oriflame waterproof top coat
  • Colorbar eye glide on color in "blackout"







I think You must have noticed , My neck doesnt quite match my face , My neck has some strange yellowness to it .
No matter How wisely I try to choose a base , I end up looking like Simpsons, If I try to match the face with neck *sigh*







Pardon the bushy brows , been growing it back after the beautician trimmed it down to 2 straight lines :/
