Red lips and a little black dress on Valentine's Day can give a pure feminine vibe with a glamorous and timeless charm. The red lipstick dates back to ancient Egypt, when Mesopotamian women used to decorate their lips with semi-precious stones in red colours. Following up the tradition, let’s take a look at some ways in which you can pull off perfect red lips this V-Day.
If you wish to give a bold touch to your lips, then apply a classic matte finish red lipstick which would give a timeless and chic appeal. However, moisturise and hydrate your lips well, to prevent a dry finish.
To give a more smooth finish, you can pick a 100 percent sheen-free red lipstick with gel-consistency which would look more hydrating and noticeable with no layer of gloss.
To capture a vintage Hollywood look inspired from Marilyn Monroe, start by lining your lips with a pencil and then add a bold moisturising lipstick that would make your lips look more defined and luscious.
The luster caliber comes by applying a shiny gloss over your cream red lips that uplifts the texture and glistening look.
Perfect for radiant and dusky skin tones, you can try on the Victorian style and apply dark maroon or vampy shades that would give an edgy spin, with a cherry-hue touch.
Make your red lips not a daring but delicate challenge opt for a bright red lipstick and then blend it with a brush or fingers to get the ultimate dab and spread look.
If you want a flushed out natural look then apply red lip tattoos that leave a stain of red on the applied area and then can be peeled off later on, perfectly blending in with your lips.
Many women love the blend of orange and red notes on their lips, making them another classic pick for Valentine's. Simply opt for an orangish-red vibrant lip shade and apply the dab and spread method to get the perfect touch.
