Whether it’s a cocktail party or just a Wednesday afternoon, a red lip is a perfect weapon in everyone women’s beauty arsenal. It exudes confidence and power, with a dash of sex appeal.
Keep scrolling for my expert tips on how to wear a red lip to suit your age and skin tone.
Powder
Lip liner
Next, line your lips with a liner in the same shade as your red lipstick. If you want slightly bigger lips, then overdraw just a fraction on your upper and bottom lip for the appearance of a fuller pout.

Hue
There’s a red to suit every skin tone and season. Orange-based reds are great for summer months, however in winter I think it is best to stick to a more classic blue-based red (a universally flattering shade) or a burgundy/red wine shade.

Teeth
I’ve recently been using White Glo toothpaste and the results are seriously amazing. When you get three compliments in one day that your teeth look whiter, you know you are on to something. Add a glamorous red lip to the equation and you’ll instantly notice the difference in your teeth.
Confidence
Wearing a red lip can intimidate some, yet confidence makes all the difference.
Face
I recommend keep the rest of your makeup to a minimum when wearing a red lip. Focus on perfecting your skin with a flawless base and slightly contouring or bronzing the cheeks. Ensure your eyes are not overdone. Simply work a few coats on mascara through the lashes and your makeup look will look sophisticated and sleek.
