Lipsticks have been shimmering in women’s makeup kits since time immemorial. Over centuries, they have seen their evolution in terms of both their matter and shades. Not just that, they have also emerged into new versions to stay up with the time. Therefore, they have many fans across the world. No matter what the occasion is, women do not feel like stepping out of their home comfort without wearing their favorite on their lips. Among all the shades, red stands out for its unbounded boldness. However, a slight miss on its application can land one in a soup. Thus, red lipsticks demand extra care. To facilitate perfect wear, here are a few simple steps.

But before, one has to keep a few things in one’s mind. Firstly, one has to choose one’s lipstick tone. Blue-toned red complements cool skin undertones. On the other hand, orange-toned red looks perfect for warm undertones. After that, it is time for one to choose between matte, glossy, sheer, cream, and liquid lipstick. Before applying lipstick, one should exfoliate one’s lips gently. Adding to that, one should apply lip balm to moisturize one’s lips. If you are new to the lipstick zone, then you can hit right with “Russian Red” by M.A.C.

It provides the much-needed balance between the cool and warm undertones. Not just that, it is also better for beginners to go for solid lipstick over other options. Finally, it is time to apply the bold shade. Let us start with the preparation of lips. For that, one should start by moisturizing one’s lips with lip balm. If your lips are dry, then it is better to exfoliate them. For that, one can use an old toothbrush. With that, one can pitch in for a smooth application by removing the dead cells on the lips.

Moving ahead, one has to blot one’s lips. Therefore, one should not look forward to applying lipstick with the lip balm still on one’s lips. Taking on that, one can use a tissue to blot one’s lips. Stepping ahead, one can also apply a layer of powder on one’s lips with a brush. That goes a long way in providing a dry canvas for lipstick. Adding to that, it also helps in the smooth and better application of lipstick.     

Finally, one can go ahead to put on the red shade. Not just that, one can also pair it up with a lip brush to have the best on that part. After applying the lipstick, it is time to perfect it. Pitching in for that note, lip pencil gets on the board. One can use it to define the edges and purge the unevenness. Not just that, one can also use it to underline one’s fuller lips. However, one should refrain from using a too-light or a too-dark lip pencil.

Then, it is time to take a tissue and bloat your lips. That will remove excess lipstick. Not just that, one can also look forward to a clean look. One can use an angular brush with concealer on it. It goes a long way in sharpening the edges. Also, one should clean one’s teeth of red lipstick stains.
