Red Lips
Red lipsticks look fabulous on our Asian skin, as well as really making a statement. Because many of us have yellow and olive undertones, the best colors for us are ones that have warm undertones as well, like berries, cherries, and even fire engine reds.
In order to make sure your red lips look amazing, be sure to follow these steps:
1. Exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush in order to make them smooth, plump and ready to be the focal point of your face.
2. Add a dab of lip conditioner or lip balm onto your lips to keep them moisturised. Don’t add too much though, or the red colour won’t stay on your lips.
3. Apply some of your regular concealer around the edges of your lips so your red lips really stand out.
4. To keep your lipstick from running, apply a lip liner to your lips in a red that’s quite close to the red you’ve chosen for your lipstick.
5. Use a small lip brush to apply the color onto your lips. If you apply straight from the tube, you have a greater chance of making mistakes which are harder to correct with such a bold colour.
6. Build up the pigment gradually. Apply a thin layer of lipstick, then blot your mouth with a tissue and then apply another layer. Repeat these steps until you’re happy with the color and shape of your red lips!
7. Finally, keep the rest of your makeup simple and understated. Your skin should be fresh looking, your eye makeup should be simple, and just use the tiniest bit of blush on the apples of your cheeks to top off the look.
