Do’s and Don’ts for wearing Dark Red Lipstick like a Girl Boss
If dark red lipstick is your go-to fashion style, you’re in luck! Wearing dark red lipstick can instantly transform an outfit and make you look like a girl boss.
The key to mastering dark red lips is all in the technique so here are some dos and don’ts for wearing dark red lipstick like a girl boss:
Do’s :
- Pick out the perfect dark red shade that suits your skin tone. Find one with blue undertones if you have fair skin or orange undertones if you have dark skin.
- Prep your lips with lip balm before applying dark red lipstick as this will give it more staying power.
- Outline the shape of your lips using a lip liner that matches your dark red lipstick shade.
- Apply dark red lipstick with a small brush and start from the center of your lips, working outwards.
- Top it off with lip gloss for an extra pop of glamour.
Don’t:
- Skip the blending process, use a cotton swab to blend the edges of dark red lipstick so that it looks natural and not too harsh.
- Try to mix shades together if you don't know what you're doing – this can lead to an uneven color and mess up your makeup look.
- Wear dark red lipstick without any other makeup on, as this can make your face look washed out or overly made up. Instead, opt for minimal yet equally glam eye makeup to complement the dark red lips.
- Forget to remove dark red lipstick before going to bed as it can stain your pillowcases and sheets.
So go ahead and show off your dark red lip look with confidence – you’ve got this!
