Statement Red Lips Are In For Christmas: Here's How You Can Get It!

What you'll need:

• Lip balm
• Red lipstick
• Lip liner pencil
• Lip brush
• Concealer
• Face powder
• Tissues

Step-by-step guide to get the perfect red lips

Step 1: To ensure a smooth and flawless application, exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub or an old toothbrush before applying lipstick. This will also ensure that your lipstick remains intact for a long time.

Step 2: You should apply a nourishing lip balm or primer before applying lipstick to ensure that your lips are moisturised.

Step 3: After preparing your lips, do not apply your lipstick directly. Instead, use a tissue to wipe away the lip balm. Next, apply a light layer of powder with a brush to create a nice and dry canvas.

Step 4: To prevent your glossy lipstick from bleeding or feathering, use a lip pencil to line your lips before applying the lipstick.

Step 5: You can enhance the colour of your lipstick by concealing around the corners of your mouth using a concealer. This will prolong the life of your lipstick.

Step 6: Outline your lips with LIP LINER again, going slightly beyond your natural lip line to create the illusion of fuller lips. Use a lip liner that is not significantly lighter than your lipstick unless you wish to make your lips appear smaller.

Step 7: Fill in the lips with your red lipstick, applying it directly to the lips and making sure that all the gaps are filled in.

Step 8: To prolong the wear of your lipstick, take one ply of tissue paper and press it against your lips to absorb excess oils, then apply another light layer on top.

Step 9: If you want to amp up your look for the evening, add a lip gloss over your lips to create an ultra-glam appearance.

And voila, you are done!
