Red lipstick is an all-time classic. Able to transform any girl and create the image of a mysterious, elegant and luxurious lady.

The misconception that red lipstick is a sign of vulgarity, lasciviousness and frivolity. Yes it is, but not because of the red lipstick, but because of the wrong lipstick tone.

To avoid such a mistake in your makeup, follow the tips below.

Rules for choosing red lipstick

So, first, let's define warm or cold shades to suit you.

There are two ways to determine this.

The first way. Take two large pieces of jewelry, one silver and the other gold. Apply one piece of jewelry to your face one at a time, then another. Which suits your skin tone better? If silver, then yours are cold shades, gold is warm.

Second way. Find good natural light (it's best to go outside when the sun is shining) and see what color the veins are on your wrist. If blue - choose a lipstick of a cold shade, olive tones - warm shades.

How to paint your lips perfectly

Makeup artists advise you to always match your skin tone.

Lipstick to match skin color

- Girls with fair skin should choose cold tones with a pink or blue tint. "Natural" red lipstick is ideal. Avoid peach and orange hues.

- Medium to dark skin tone - warm tones with orange and peach tints. Avoid cold colors.

- For swarthy girls - rich red lipstick, as well as brown and burgundy shades. Don't experiment with orange and pink lipstick.

The basic rule for choosing a lipstick tone by complexion: the lighter the face, the lighter the lipstick and, the darker the face, the darker the lipstick.

Do not forget about the whiteness of your teeth. If your teeth are yellowish, do not use red-orange lipsticks. They will only emphasize the yellowness of the teeth. And red lipstick of other shades can "whiten" any teeth.

Bright lipstick requires perfect application, so that the color does not go beyond the edges of the lip contour. For an even finish, use a lip liner. It should be the same tone as the lipstick, it is permissible if the pencil is one tone darker than the lipstick, but no more.

Matte or shiny?

There are no definite rules here, the main thing is that you like it. Matte will last longer and will not drip, will make your lips more vibrant. Shiny will look lighter and more romantic, plus it will add fullness to the lips.

How to combine makeup correctly?

You need to remember one principle - to highlight either the lips or the eyes. Therefore, with red lipstick, use only mascara and foundation. You can add some matte blush.

In evening make-up, shades of beige, caramel, bronze, milky shades are acceptable.

To choose the right shade, apply lipstick to your fingertip or onto a sheet of white paper. Take a close look at what other shade is present in it.

If you are not used to bright lipstick, apply red lip gloss first. It is more transparent and less conspicuous. Look at yourself in the mirror often to get used to the attention-grabbing and seductive lips.

On the lips. This color declares passion and confidence in itself, but few people dare to use it.

It is not surprising - it is difficult to find the line that separates elegance from vulgarity. We will open to you first secret: "Red lipstick suits absolutely everyone!"

Do not be surprised, you will understand what it is about when you learn about the second secret of stylists: "It's important to find your shade of red." And, it turns out, this is not difficult if you listen to the recommendations.

Any make-up requires equalizing the tone of the face, eliminating imperfections and procedures to improve the smoothness of the skin. But in the case of red lipstick, all this must be done especially carefully, because this color will instantly highlight all the flaws.

So, you need to go through the following steps:

1. Cleansing... To remove the greasy shine and ensure the make-up durability, the skin must be thoroughly cleaned with a special gel or foam.
2. Base application, that is, a special tool that allows decorative cosmetics to lie flat.
3. Applying foundation that evens out the complexion. It also has to be matte, since the rich red color does not tolerate shine.
4. Masking dark circles under the eyes and other problem areas with concealer(). Usually, a pink or gold concealer is applied to the area near the eyes (depending on your color type), and on top of the concealer tone corresponding to your skin.
5. The final stage of the foundation is the application of powder... It is recommended to choose a crumbly version of translucent or transparent shades. The product will make the skin velvety and matte.

The most important thing for red lipstick makeup is lips should be in perfect condition, so you first need to go over them with a special scrub to exfoliate dead particles and moisturize with a balm.

Combining makeup

The golden rule of makeup: focus on only one part of the face. Since we are talking about red lipstick, then, naturally, it will be the brightest spot, and you should not draw attention from it to the eyes. Although, on the other hand, the drawing should touch all parts: eyebrows, eyelashes, eyelids, cheekbones.

Here it is also necessary to consider, daytime or evening makeup is applied. So for daytime, mascara and a small amount of blush (only matte!) Are enough.

Evening option involves the use of shadows of bronze, beige, milky, caramel shades. In addition, arrows will add mystery to your look.

Red lipstick is one of the key elements in women's makeup. With its help, you can set the tone for the whole image or make the right accent, highlighting all the other advantages of a beautiful face. But if you think that this lipstick color suits absolutely everyone, you are greatly mistaken. Choosing a lipstick is still half the problem. The main thing is to create the right makeup with red lips. We will tell you how to do this in the article.

How to choose the right lipstick color?

Who would have thought that red could have so many shades! Therefore, it is so important to choose the right one, based on the color of your skin, hair and eyes. So, light-skinned girls and women are ideal for soft and non-flashy shades of red, for example, variations of light coral and pink, light brick. For ladies with dark skin, it is better to give preference to cosmetics with light bluish-purple notes.

Blondes are advised to do makeup with red lips, preferring soft ones, for example, you can choose a peach lipstick with a slight redness. With perfectly straight and white teeth, the same girls with blond curls can also choose a classic lipstick with a traditional color. Aggressive and bright shades of cosmetics are more suitable for brunettes. It is better for brown-haired and fair-haired women to choose brick ones and Sometimes a shade of ripe cherry or pomegranate may suit them.

In short, before buying lipstick, use the old and tried-and-true method - bare your wrist and make a small stroke on it. This will give you a rough estimate of the color combination of red and your skin color.

When will red lipstick be relevant?

How to create makeup for a blonde

Blondes looking to paint their lips red should also consider their makeup. For example, you can choose the style of the popular Hollywood actress Christina Aguilera. To do this, apply a light foundation. Then take a light bronze shade of powder and gently brush a couple of strokes around the cheekbones. Blend.

In the next step, when creating makeup with red lips for blondes, pay attention to the eyebrows. To do this, take a gray pencil and outline them, setting the outline to match the natural lines.

As you can see, we have got our own versions of the correct make-up using red lipstick. What kind of makeup do you use?

From childhood, all girls are drawn to lipstick, especially if it is of a bright shade, and begin to make skillful attempts to apply it, believing that any application option makes them more beautiful. Having matured, girls begin to treat the use of bright lipstick more responsibly.

Many of us are intimidated by the color red, especially when it is on the lips. Girls, looking at other spectacular ladies, whose faces have makeup with red lipstick, silently envy them, being afraid to simply try on something similar on themselves. But you shouldn't be afraid. Red lipstick is classic, sexy.

Makeup with red lipstick: things to keep in mind

Many people are mistaken in believing that red is the color of the night, and this lipstick can only be used when combined with evening make-up. This is not true. You can shine at work, but you need to remember that when using red lipstick in combination with daytime makeup, it should not be deep red. After all, red has various shades, for example, coral, which will perfectly fit into your office style. At the same time, lipstick with an orange tint can emphasize the yellowness of the teeth (this, of course, will only give you a minus), but rich red can visually make your teeth whiter.

Red always attracts the attention of others, so when applying red lipstick, it is important to remember to be careful. "Crawling" out of the contours of the lips, or teeth painted up through carelessness, will not create the sensation that you dreamed about, admiring the perfectly painted red lips of other lovely young ladies. It should also be borne in mind that lipstick of such a bright color should be applied exclusively to smooth lips, without cracks, wounds and the like, because red will only highlight them, creating the effect of negligence.

There is one more important rule to remember: when using red lipstick, do not overdo it with makeup, applying blush. Lightly colored eyelashes, natural complexion and red lips will already look spectacular. At the same time, lipstick with gloss will visually increase the volume of the lips, while matte, on the contrary, will reduce them. Using red lipstick, it is better to make it the only bright accent on your face, so it is worth giving up bright eyeshadows as well. The very same face also needs to "get rid" of all kinds of defects, otherwise red will only emphasize them.

By the way, recently makeup with red lipstick, which goes from a dark shade to a light one, has become especially relevant. Such an ombre effect on the lips is achieved very simply: you need to circle the lips with a black pencil, then apply lipstick, and then use a brush to "stretch" the color.

Also, don't forget about your hair: messy hair and red lipstick don't go well together. As for the hairstyle, any combination is possible. In the office version, red lipstick will look spectacular in combination with hair gathered in a bun, while at a party, an option with loose straight hair or curled curls is also possible.

What outfit to choose for red lipstick

Another question arises: with what to "wear" red lipstick? Any image you choose should be elegant, and by no means vulgar. A black evening dress and red lips are a sure-fire option that will never go out of style.

As for the office style, the red lipstick will be in perfect harmony with formal trousers and a white shirt, as well as a sheath dress. Do not use this color in combination with sportswear.

A beautiful dress, perfectly styled hair, good makeup, and, of course, red lipstick will give you inner self-confidence, which is important both at work and at a party.

So, we can summarize. Do not be afraid to apply red lipstick, the main thing is to choose your shade, remember to be careful, and not only when applying, but also in makeup in general, hair, clothes, shoes. Red lipstick doesn't like casualness. Observing the basic rules, you can no longer be afraid of red lipstick, and make it an irreplaceable part of your cosmetic bag.

Eye makeup for red lipstick

They say that red lipstick is not only for those who do not know how to wear it. But it's not that simple. If there are rashes on the skin that cannot be perfectly masked, it is worth choosing a more discreet lipstick. If you do not want to focus on your teeth (because of color, shape or any problems), you should refuse red lipstick. This color is also not recommended for older women with a lot of wrinkles. The rest need not be afraid - red lipstick will definitely suit them. The main thing is to do the right eye makeup.

Eye makeup for red lipstick

There are three main options: classic make-up, smokey ice and "invisible" make-up.

But first, two important rules:

1. If you are going to “put on” red lipstick on your lips, make your eyebrows clear. Not necessarily dark, but always bright and well defined. Otherwise, you can become like a moth.

2. Use shades of white and warm colors: beige, brown, red, terracotta, peach, etc. You can also apply gray tones if the cold scale suits your face. It is highly undesirable to combine red lipstick and shadows in green and blue tones in one make-up.

Classic makeup with red lipstick

This make-up is very universal: it suits everyone, regardless of color type and age. It is also called Chanel-style makeup. The use of red lipstick is initially one of its foundations.

How is classic makeup created? A fairly light tone is applied - in skin color or a little lighter. The eyebrows are given a color that matches the color of the hair, however, it can go into a slightly lighter or darker tone. This means that dark brown eyebrows are unacceptable for a pure blonde, as well as black eyebrows for a redhead.

On the upper eyelid, along the line of growth of the eyelashes, a black or dark brown arrow is drawn, gradually expanding towards the outer corner of the eye. The tail of the arrow goes to the temple and rises. Light shadows (beige, cream, light golden, peach, etc.) are applied to the moving eyelid.

If you wish, you can carefully highlight the lower eyelid with a dark color, but always with shading. The water line of the lower eyelid is whitened with a white pencil. Black or dark brown mascara is applied to the eyelashes. This completes the eye makeup.

You can brighten up the apples of your cheeks with a peach blush. And finally, the decisive touch is red lipstick.

Classic make-up with red lipstick is equally suitable for work and for a party. Ideal as wedding makeup for the bride.

Smoky ice and red lipstick

There is an opinion that you need to highlight one thing: either the eyes or the lips. But this only applies! In the evening, we have the right to make bright both. In the twilight, light classic make-up may turn out to be unobtrusive, as a result of which the face will become expressionless and "anemic", which will be aggravated by red lipstick. This won't happen with Smokey Ice makeup.

Who said red lipstick doesn't go with smokey ice? When smoky makeup first appeared, and it was in the 20-30s of the last century, it was originally supplemented with red lipstick, creating the image of a vamp woman. If you need to look stunning in the evening - give preference to this particular combination.

Smoky Ice- This is makeup using dark shadows, black kayal and black eyeliner. Using the darkest tones, they form (or, in other words, draw) the shape of the eye, paying special attention to the outer corner and crease of the upper eyelid. In this case, the inner corner is usually whitened.

As a result, the eyes are huge, bright, "burning". Lipstick red as blood is a nuance that fits perfectly into this concept. But only in the evening! In the daytime, "smokey ice" is accompanied by "nude" lipstick, that is, beige, transparent or repeating the natural color of the lips.
