Tips For Wearing Red Lipstick
1. Smile: Red lipstick makes your teeth appear whiter so don’t be afraid to rock this vibrant color with a smile!
2. Exfoliate & Moisturize: Use a homemade brown sugar scrub to gently remove dead skin from your lips before applying your lipstick. This is especially important if the color is matte. Red lipstick will only highlight dry cracked lips.
3. Use A Liner: Use a liner that is similar or slightly darker than your lipstick. This will prevent the color from bleeding and smudging off throughout the day. Shop some of our favorite red liners and lipsticks below!
