The Perfect Festive Red Lip


I love a good red lip and there is no better time of year to pull one out than right now. Whether you are starting to think about your festive parties or just want to add a pop of colour to you lips on these dull days then below should hold all the information you need to find your perfect red lip! Finding a shade that you love and feel comfortable in can be a really tricky one, and sometimes it is down to a bit of trail and error but there are a few tips and tricks to finding whats right for you. Before we get to colour I always think picking what formula you want is the best place to start. So what do you want from you lipstick? Something long wearing, then go for the liquid kind; I personally love the Sephora Matte Lip Cream Stain in 01 and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Sarafine. If you want to make a statement then a pop of a matte red is perfect; try NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella or the shade I am wearing above, Urban Decay 714. If bold and bright scares you a bit then go for something on the sheerer side of things like this Pop of Passion from Bareminerals. So you have you decided on your formula now the questions is what shade? So red, yes it is one colour but there are a ton of varying shades and depths to choose from. The fail safe has to be something with a mid tone between blue and orange, which will suite most people. If you fall on the warmer side of things then something with an orange hue to it will suit you perfectly, I personally love the Lancome Crayon in 110. If you are cooler then something with a neutral tone or a bit of blue to it will sit beautifully, like Blake Lively's Red for L'Oreal. Lastly how deep do you want your red to be, for an autumnal shade I like to go deep with something like Clinique's Matte Pop in Bold Pop, or for the summer something fresher like La Prairie's Flamme. So there you have it, you red lip needs ticked off the festive list. Love...
