Nothing says ‘festive’ more than a red lip. I searched out the perfect red lip for YEARS until I found this one. it is everything I have been looking for:
-Matte without being drying
-Neutral in tone (can wear with warm or cool tones)
-Universally flattering (this looks good on any skin tone; trust me I have tested it)
-Easily removable
I am so thankful to be alive when a daily matte pigment on the lips is not mandatory. Deep down, I am a balm/chapstick girl. I do wear a hint of tint on the reg, but the holiday season brings out the bold lip in me.
I created 4 easy looks using one eye pallet and 2 lip colors that can get you from brunch to a night out in no time!
Look 1
I like to keep it fresh faced during the holidays. This is my go-to for any daytime holiday gathering (or mall trip). It’s as close to a totally natural look as I get. The eyes have a hint of shimmer, the cheeks are subtle, and the gloss helps amplify.
Look 2
This is my favorite way to wear a red lip. I like to keep the eyes subtle to not overwhelm my face. When wearing a red lip, your last step should be blush. You may find you don’t even need it!
Look 3
I’ll be real with you. It’s so hard for me to wear statement eyes AND lips at the same time. A lot of it reminds me of terrible stage makeup I have worn. To keep it more holiday and less broadway show, darken your eyes using deep cool brown shadows rather than black.
Look 4
This is my go to for a night out. Full. On. Glam. Darken the smokey eye with a warm cranberry (seasonal!) and add a lash to bump up the drama. I prefer a lighter lip with this eye look, but because this palette is so complimentary to red lips, you can keep the red!
