RED LIPS and nails

Get a glam look in a few easy steps

Red lips are classical. You can achieve a simple, quick and very impressive look, by just finding the right shade of red that suits your hair, eyes and most importantly you skin color best.

What do you need to get the red lips classy look?

  

Go to a make up store and ask a consultant to give you some advice on the different red shades. Then, just go on and start trying them, by first applying some amount on your hand. 

 What you should pay attention to is, which shade looks good on your skin. Select the ones you like and try them on your lips. However, you should also see how wet and glossy the lipstick is and also- is it mat or shimmery?

 For everyday casual look, go with a bit dryer mat color lipsticks, because they last longer an are more suitable for a business outfit. 

 For a night and more dramatic look you can pick more shimmery or glossy lipstick. 

  After you've selected your red lipstick, have in mind that you'll have to have also either lip brush, or lip liner pen for the proper application!

RED LIP LINER

 

Having the brush is a good trick, because you won't need to have to buy a matching color pencil with every lipstick you have.

After applying your lipstick, close your mouth and then smile in front of the mirror, just to make sure you don't look like this:

NOTE: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU CARRY A SMALL MIRROR IN YOUR PURSE WHEN YOU WEAR RED LIPSTICK

After you're done with the lips you'll need beautiful matching nails. The classic and most beautiful and stylish decision is to go for nails that match the color of your lips. 

However, with the red lips you can also go with transparent nail-polish, just to give your nails some shine and put the whole emphasis on the lips.

ATTENTION!

For a stylish and classy look, keep your nails short. The image below simply ain't cool!!!

NEVER DO THAT TO YOUR HANDS, PLEASE!!!

The proper and good looking nails are short and neat and clean!!!

Finally, don't worry if the first time you apply the lipstick and the nail polish you don't get the perfect results. Practice makes perfect!
