TUTORIAL: RED MY LIPS!!!
Hi there!
Today's post is a tutorial on red lips! There is always something sexy, glamorous, seductive, elegant and classy about a well done red lips. Well, anytime I wear red lips (which is quite often) I'm always in that James Bond mood... ask me what my name is and I will say "The name's Shally....Shally Bond"......You feel this way too?? No? No? Oh well!!
My red lips crush has to be my girl Don Vita Teese (yes she my gurrrll....we go way back!) Does she turn up the heat with her red lips or what??!! No one does it better...
PRODUCTS:
I chose the 'legendary' MAC rubywoo for this tutorial. While writing this post, I kept wondering why I used this lipstick seeing as I don't use it anymore. It is usually lying somewhere in my makeup kit. I just don't like it! It is too drying for my already dry lips, I don't care much for the shade, too hard...urgh..this one is story for another day. I wont say this lipstick is for the birds, since I just use it as a lipliner these days... I figured most people love it and it is easily obtainable
You'll also need:
- A red lipliner of your choice. I chose ZARON lipliner in Red Vines for this tutorial. Zaron lipliners are very pigmented and soft. they also double as lipsticks...great bang for the buck yes?
- Cotton buds and your foundation to clean up
- Facial tissue and powder to blot. If you already have very very dry lips like me, you can skip the powder. I chose PONDS oil control white powder...Ok I didn't 'choose' it...It was the first talc powder I saw lying around. You can use any white powder...if una get baby for house, use his/her baby powder....*ssssh*
- Lip brush..this is also optional
TUTORIAL
And that's it!
- Stick your index finger into your mouth and pull it out..this ensures you don't get any lipstick stains on your teeth. You don't want to look like a
Biniwitch that has just finished sucking blood! I took a picture to show you guys, but it looked so nasty!! - Lets assume you are on a date, you know how red lipsticks tend to misbehave and transfer onto drinking glasses (yeah i hate that to!),
You can prevent this by licking your lips, before drinking. The moisture seals in the color and prevents excess staining..

| Looks 50% better yeah? :) |
- Make sure the bobo you are with does not see you licking your lips oh! before he gets that 'oh she want it. ooooooh she gon get it tonight' impression! LOL! You know how cocky they can get...well except that is your aim *cough*
- If you have dry lips like me, you might want to leave the mattes and go for more creamy and satin textures. This was a huge problem for me, because I love matte red lips..I did strong head for a while, but I just had to succumb. It really depends on the wearer because red lips look great in all textures.
- Spread the powder on your tissue and blot. This 'sets' the lipstick and gives the second layer of lipstick something to hold on to. You only want to use a LITTLE amount of powder please..just a little. You can also use the tissue+powder trick if you want your satin or creme textured red lipstick to be matte on your lips. The powder will absorb the oil and the shine!
- I usually pair my red lips with cool and subtle eyes...most of the time, i use just eyeliner.
