XOXO Parisky: red lipstick

How to: Red lips

11:57:00 | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

I decided to do a tutorial about red lips, since there are a lot of people who don't know how to.

A good base is vital :)

To get a good base exfoliate your lips with an old toothbrush

Than moisturize

Now let's move to how to apply lipliner (or just how I do it). A good application of your lipliner will make your lipstick last longer.

I start in the center of the upper lip

And than I continue with the sides and I fill up the upper lip.

Than I move down the sides

And again start at the centre of my lower lip

And fill it up

The result:

To check if your application is even just pretend you're blowing a kiss

So now we have applied the lipliner and we'll be applying a lipstick or a red lip gloss (I prefer gloss).

Here is a great trick for lipgloss: just put your index finger in your mouth (close) and pull out. I know how that looks like, so try not to do it in public :P

If you decided to go with lipstick here is also a great tip to remove the excess from your lips. Tissues :D

And if you don't like that very "sharp" edge of your red lips, just apply a coat of pressed powder

The result:

So that's it. It's as simple as that :) I hope I have been useful to some of you. :)

That's the saying :) And I cannot agree more to it! :) All lipsticks I own are red (or some shade of it) :P So here is a comparison of them (and lip liners).

My nude lips:

1. Maybelline Watershine diamonds in raspberry spimmer (112)

It was my first lipstick I ever bought and I bought it because of the advertisement (so fake).

2. Miss sporty be connected lipgloss in red digital (063)

I think it's lovely

3. Stila lip glaze in raisin (21)

Just love it! It gives me a natural look but it's still very glossy

4. Maxfactor Lipfinity (120)

I really like all of their colors but it is the worst lipstick I have EVER bought! It is called lipfinity because it's supposed to stay on no matter what for hours. But the truth is it peels off gradually from inside out and all that remains is the border (or pieces of it) that won't get out for hours! And that is terrible. It even gets on your teeth and stains your skin (and of course doesn't get out). But that's not all. It's so liquid it's very difficult to apply it perfectly and you can't correct any errors because it dries very fast. That makes your lips very dry (and I mean very dry) and you have to apply the white gloss? or any other gloss. And that makes the lipstick stain on your skin and to peel off in chunks.

5. Maxfactor Lipfinity (90)

Actually I was looking for this shade in 3 different stores but they just had the tester? But than I finally got it.

6. Maxfactor Lipfinity color and gloss in gleaming coral (570)

Almost the same matter is with the gloss as it is with the lipstick. But this one definitely stays on less time and is easier to clean off.

just the color:

with the pink gloss:

7. Maxfactor Lipliner in fire (12)

8. Illamasqua Medium pencil in Feisty

I think red lips are sensuous and very feminine :)
