A perfect little red-lip tutorial just in time for New Year's Eve
The first thing to do is the most important: Prep your lip. You can have a gorgeous red lipstick on, but if your skin is peeling, it will look horrible.
1) Apply a lip balm and massage your lips with your fingers.
2) A good way to get rid of any extra skin on your lips is to rub them with a very clean toothbrush.
3) Use a translucent powder as a lip primer, this will act as a base for the lipstick.
4) Line your lips carefully with a red lip pencil.
5) Fill the rest of the lip in with the lip pencil.
6) Now, you can either apply the lipstick directly on your lip, or you can apply it with a lip brush. I recommend using a lip brush for longer wear.
Applying the lipstick with a brush gives you more control, uses less product, and will last longer.
7) Lightly blot your lips on a tissue.
8) Then, set your lips with translucent powder.
9) Reapply the lipstick for 1 last coat, and you are finished!
