Well, as the “Red Lips” trend continues, we thought that it is essential to put together a video tutorial on how to rock this look. While many people had advised to go minimal on the eye makeup when wearing bright red rouge, Joy from the Style Atelier will talk us through how to wear eye shadow to complement the bold lip shade, as well share tips on applying the lipstick.
Do you have any question after watching the tutorial? Feel free to fire your question and we will get them answered!
3 CommentsI was introduced to the latest makeup from Shiseido this season and what really grabbed my attention was the Shimmering Rouge (S$43), which is available in a massive variety of delicious colours!
A deep playful shade of purplish pink – RS308 Ice Maiden.
5 CommentsI was delighted to preview the Clarins Barocco makeup collection before its launch on 15 November. Clarins introduced 4 items that are consistently adorned with mysterious black scrolls on luxurious gold background, and the colours hover around gold, bronze and black – perfect for the sensual and sexy year-end festive look.
I have been thinking of experimenting with brighter lip colours and just as I was considering which bright red lippy to buy, I received a collection of cosmetics from L’Oreal Paris today. To my delight, they included a bright red lipstick (646 Red Passion) from the Color Riche collection.
Here is how the red rouge looks on me:
Tips on wearing the Red Lips:
1. Unless it’s Halloween, keep it simple. Eyeliner, mascara and a very light dust of blusher would do the trick. If you really can’t live without your fake eyelashes, go for the natural-looking ones.
2. It is important to shape your lips nicely so that you look polished. Simply use a lip brush to create an accurate and defined shape.
3. For the lip color to last, use a lip stain (eg. Benetint) before you apply the lipstick. If you would like to add a wee bit of shine, add some lip gloss over the lipstick.
4. Contrary to popular belief that red lipstick is only for fair girls, girls with darker skin colours can wear red lip colors very well too!
5. For a safe bet, keep your outfit simple to avoid looking too dramatic.
If you are uncertain about the Red Lips but you are keen to give it a shot, I suggest you can look at the cheaper drugstore offerings. A number of brands have released bright lip colors for this new season. The L’Oreal Paris Color Riche lipstick retails at S$19.90.
