I'm a huge fan of Old Hollywood Sexy.
Nothing oozes glamour like a classic red lip.
There are so many ways to wear a red lip, let's talk about the SEXIEST...
The vampy, dangerous mystery of the dark gradient lip.
To achieve this simple, sexy look, you will need a few things:
1) Your favorite RED lipstick (I use Ka'oir Red Roses or MAC Russian Red)
2) A Dark Lipliner (can be a brick red, brown, or dark purple, try the NYX lip pencil in Y2K )
3) Red or Clear Gloss
4) Concealer (to perfect any mistakes and prevent bleeding)
Now Get SEXY!!
Start by moisturizing and exfoliating your lips.
I use the Edible Sugar Scrub from www.divastuff.com
You can use anything you have to get your lips prepped and ready for application!
Next, line your lips with the dark liner.
Go slow and accentuate the outside of the bottom lip to make it fuller and the cupids bow for shape.
Fill in the outer corners and about 2/3 of the lip leaving the center open.
(Optional:: fill the remainder of the lips in with a bright red liner to act as a base for the lipstick)
Now apply your favorite red lipstick to the center of the lips where you did not fill in with the red liner.
Go into the line just a bit to blend.
Finally, apply gloss to cupids bow and center of the bottom lip, and blot lips together.
Be careful to only blot (not rub) the lips a few times to get the colors to blend together, creating a gradient effect.
Now look in the mirror and fix any mistakes on the outside of your lip with concealer.
HOW TO WEAR THIS LIP::
Nude Eye w/ BOLD Lashes, Classic Pinup, Dark Smokey, Jeweltone bottom liner
Give yourself the Diva Face in the mirror and You are Ready to WERK Honey!
