The most important step in perfecting the "Red Lip" look is finding the right shade. Personally, I love Illamasqua's "Maneater", but it's all about your skin tone, eye and hair color.
Once you have found the perfect color, follow these easy steps:
1.) Fill in your lips, making sure to follow the natural contour of them. Do not go outside the lines...your lips are the shape they are for a reason...EMBRACE THEM!
2.) Make lips into "kissy face" and make sure the insides of your lips are filled in. You don't want the inside of your mouth peeking through in your pics!
3.) Here is my secret...Use a WHITE eye-liner pencil and follow along your lashes.
4.) Blend in with the back side of the pencil like this Revlon one.
5.) Line the corners of your eyes.
6.) Line along the skin between your bottom lashes and your eye.
7.) Use black mascara on the top and bottom lashes.
VOILA!
