Red Lippies
I’ve had this red lipstick for a quite a while now. I’ve always preferred nude colors, but  decided to play around and explore brighter colors. I’ve seen many ladies pull of this look beautifully, I wasn’t really confident with it yet, mainly because I  have darker, olive skin tone and wasn’t sure if a red lip would complement my skin tone. And  I was scared that a red shade would be far to showy and calls for too much attention to my lips.

A bold red lip is such a classic look and adds a touch of flair. A  good idea would probably be to  pair a bold red lip with the lightest possible make –up. Better yet, do away with eye shadow and just dab on mascara.  Applying a little concealer around the border of your mouth area will promote a polished look.

Red lipstick makes the lips appear bigger and much plumper than what they really are, so it's important to consider the size of your lips when choosing a shade of red lippies. If you feeling to dress down a bit, a pop of red on the lips can easily elevate your outfit instantly.
A good tip is to apply a little foundation on your lips before applying the lipstick. Use a lip liner the same shade a the red lipstick to prevent the lipstick from bleeding out of the lips. Red lipstick makes the face not just the lips very attractive, but ensure that your make-up is balanced!

So im rocking red lippies confidently J
