Red lipstick is one of the key elements in women's makeup. With its help, you can set the tone for the whole image or make the right emphasis, emphasizing all the other advantages of a beautiful face. But if you think that such a color of lipstick is suitable for absolutely everyone, you are very mistaken. To pick up lipstick is half the problem. The main thing is to create the right makeup with red lips. We will tell you how to do this in an article.
How to correctly choose the color of lipstick?
Who would have thought that red can have so many shades! Therefore, it is so important to choose it correctly, based on the color of your skin, hair and eyes. So, fair-skinned girls and women are ideally suited for soft and non-shouting shades of red, for example, variations of light coral and pink, light brick. Ladies with dark skin should prefer cosmetics with light bluish-purple notes.
Blondes are recommended to do makeup with red lips, giving preference to soft shades of red, for example, you can choose peach lipstick with a light red. With perfectly even and white teeth, the same girls with blond curls can choose a classic lipstick with a traditional color. Brunettes are more suitable for aggressive and bright shades of cosmetics. Brown-haired and fair-haired people should choose brick and carrot colors. Sometimes a shade of ripe cherry or pomegranate may suit them.
In a word, before buying lipstick, use the old and proven method - expose your wrist and make a small stroke on it. So you can roughly appreciate the color combination of red with the color of your skin.
When will red lipstick be relevant?
When doing lip makeup with red lipstick, remember one important point: this color of cosmetics is not always relevant. This means that the traditional color is not suitable for going to work, but will be appropriate for a corporate party, theme party or suitable for a romantic dinner for two. In other cases, choose light and unobtrusive tones of red that will not set you apart from the crowd.
A few important points for lovers of red lipstick
If it so happened that your favorite color is red, pay attention to several important points. First, focusing on the lips, try not to highlight anything else. For the eyes, choose light pastel shades, for example, sand tones with smoothly flowing brownish shading in the corners are perfect. Looks interesting with such lips and makeup "Smokey Ice."
Secondly, since you have decided to make up your lips so brightly, do not forget to put on any piece of clothing to match. For example, you may have shoes, a skirt, a handbag and other accessories in red. We will talk about how to choose the right makeup for a red dress for a brunette a little later.
Thirdly, the owners of small and thin lips, in addition to lipstick, should additionally use a pencil selected to a darker tone. This way you can visually enlarge your lips and achieve an amazing effect.
Do makeup under the red dress
Suppose you select makeup for a red dress. For a brunette in this case, the most relevant makeup will be in the style of Angelina Jolie. To do this, you first need to apply foundation on your face (you should choose it based on the color of your neck). At the second stage, take the powder (it should be about two shades darker than the face) and use a brush to make a couple of strokes in the area of the cheekbones. Blend.
Next, take care of the eyes and apply light shades with elements of a beige shade to the moving part of the eyelid. Lightly blend with a round brush (or you can do it with your fingers). Then comb the eyebrows and shape them with a special brush. Underline them with a brown pencil.
Makeup: arrows and red lips
When the preparatory work with the eyes is completed, select their corners with black eyeliner. So you will achieve the effect of "cat". Pay attention to the fact that the arrows should start from the inner corner of the eye and expand towards the outer. Finally, color your eyelashes with black mascara.
After the eyes and cheekbones are highlighted, proceed to the most crucial moment - the drawing of the lips. To do this, walk along their surface first with powder, and then paint them with red lipstick. Then take a napkin and blot them. And then paint again. Done. You will get beautiful eye makeup with red lips in the style of Angelina Jolie.
Create makeup for the blonde
Blondes who want to redden their lips should also consider their makeup. For example, you can choose the style of the popular Hollywood actress Christina Aguilera. To do this, apply a light foundation. Then take the powder with a light bronze tint and carefully draw a couple of strokes in the area of the cheekbones. Blend.
At the next stage, creating a makeup with red lips for blondes, pay attention to the eyebrows. To do this, take a gray pencil and draw them, setting the outline corresponding to the natural lines.
Eyes brighten , you can lightly bronze shadows. Blend. And either select them with black eyeliner, or lightly powder with brown shadows. Make up eyelashes.
Draw and highlight lips
In order for makeup with red lips to be complete, pay special attention to details. Start with a red pencil. Take it and gently circle the lip contour. Then lightly powder and put on lipstick. Blot them with a napkin and paint over again. Your make-up is ready, and now you can proudly boast of resemblance to the spectacular blonde Christina Aguilera.
How to make evening makeup?
Suppose you decide to do an evening make-up (step by step we will describe it in this article). To do this, choose cosmetics and lipstick that matches your image. Do not forget that when using red, the emphasis should be on the lips. Accordingly, stock up on the following attributes:
- powder with a slight tanning effect (optional);
- foundation cream;
- blush (optional);
- beige or sand shadows;
- Ink
- red lipstick.
Apply foundation, powder and shadows
As in the previous examples, begin to apply a foundation on the face. Moreover, it is better to do this with a special round brush, which will even out the color of your skin. Then walk over the face with powder, including eyebrows and eyes.
At the next stage, doing evening makeup (step by step you can do it according to the recommendations below), take light shadows and apply them on the eyelid. Then go back to the crease above it and emphasize it with the help of bronze shades (slightly brick shades are also suitable). Blend. As a result, the color transition should be smooth and harmonious.
Highlight eyes, lips and cheekbones
To make your eyes more expressive, circle them with barely noticeable brown shadows. Remove excess and blend. You can also use liquid black or brown eyeliner. However, the arrows should be applied exclusively to the upper eyelid. The lower one is not worth highlighting (the same applies to dyeing eyelashes in this area).
Take the powder, again walk it along the upper eyelashes, which will add volume to them, and walk on them with mascara. The eyes are ready. Go smoothly to the cheekbones. In order to highlight them, use blush. Also for this purpose you can use bronze powder or shades of pastel colors. And to give them volume, use a highlighter (a special corrector to highlight certain areas). Here is a make-up. With red lips, however, still have a little tinker. So, first go through them with powder. Next, apply a thin layer of lip balm. Then put on lipstick, blot them. And finally, powder again and cover with lipstick. Your evening look is ready.
