I've been loving the retro red lipstick look lately. To be honest, I've loved it for ages, but I never had the guts to do it. I was always worried that I would buy the wrong color or that such a bold color would make my lips look too thin. After I saw a friend rocking her red lips, I decided to take the plunge and I am delighted that I did.
A few people have asked me how I get these red lips and how I make it last. The lipstick is called "ruby woo" and it's by MAC. It's a very vibrant red with a matte finish.
The trick to making the color last is in the application. I read this trick once in a magazine and I think it might have come from Taylor Swift??? Totally random. I apply MAC lipliner in "brick" first. Then, I apply one thick layer of lipstick. Blot well. Apply powder on top of lips and then apply another generous layer of lipstick. Voila! The retro glam look should almost last you through a meal.
So, there you have it. I hope this beauty tip helps anyone else who might be hesitant to go for the bold red lips. Just do it...maybe 2013 will be a red lipstick year for you!
