Red-licious - Lips tutorial -



I think nothing looks more sexy than red lips, for some people may work for a every day look, but normally red lips is for dates or special holiday's. There's tons of shades of reds lipsticks, the trick is to find the shade that suits you the best, along with your skin tone and your eyes. 
The thing about the redlicious lips is the glossy looking lips that make them pop and look girly, sexy and bold.

What you'll need:
  • Lip balm
  • Red lip pencil (not necessarily the same exact color as the lipstick)
  • Red lipstick
  • Red gloss.
  • Clear gloss.

STEP ONE

Apply lip balm and let the lipbalm work for a bit. Whipe off with a tissue.
The lips need to be moisturized, not overly glossy with the balm :)

STEP TWO

Using the red lip pencil, star out-lining the upper lip as you may see in the picture. 


STEP THREE

Now outline the lower lip, as you can see.

STEP FOUR

Now, having those 2 steps done. Finish outlining the lips and very carefully outline the corners
of the lips too. There is no rush on this steps, take your time!

STEP FIVE

Fill up the whole lips with the red pencil. You'll have something like the picture.

STEP SIX

Now, using the bare lipstick tube fill in the lips. Try to not damage the shape that you already did,
that's why the lipsticks have that kinda "V" shape. That "V" shape helps you to fill in the lips
properly, so give it a good use!

STEP SEVEN

Using a lip brush (any you have), take with it the red lip gloss (mine is very thick, not that glossy) 
and apply it into the lips.


STEP EIGHT

Now using the clear gloss, apply it all over the lips.

And done!

And this is the finish product! I love it :)
