Matte Red Lipstick Party Season

THE RED LIP LOOK YOU CAN WEAR TO nearly EVERY CHRISTMAS PARTY

Update a classic red lipstick look with a bold, matte hue this party season. There's definitely nothing more passionate than red. Below are some tips to modernising this makeup staple.

First, you want to smooth out the lips with simple sugar scrub (or your toothbrush in a pinch). This will remedy chapped lips for a seamless application.

Next, apply a fiery-red liner, like MAC Lip Pencil REDD in CLEARLY RED, on the entire mouth, followed by your lipstick. 

Use a NYX ; PURE RED ( MLS08) bright red-orange.

Since this look is matte, blot off any excess moisture with a tissue to set.

And to make your red lipstick pop even more, use a highlight on the Cupid's bow, for this highlight, use Make Up Store Eyepencil in Vanilla. You can also use a pencil that's about two shades lighter than your skin tone for a more wearable version. Finally, clean up any smudges with concealer. Pair this over-the-top lip with simply elegant makeup, including a bare face and perfectly groomed brows.

Top 5 Full Coverage Foundation Finishing Powder Combo

Full coverage foundation sounds a bit extreme, but what i mean is the foundation you would wear to someone's wedding or for a night out on the town with the girls — to any special event really. It's heavier than the foundation or tinted moisturizer you might wear to work, and it gives you a flawless, where-has-my-real-skin-gone look. You know the type when you have to wash your face like three times to get it off? That one! We've also got party season beauty front of mind, so there's no better time to talk full coverage. In order to get a heavier application to stay-put, the same beauty rules apply — you need to finish with... finishing powder! 

Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup

"Thick , blends in really well and has a super subtle shimmer so no need to mix in any illuminator. The oil-free formula is also perfect, awesome."

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup

 "A bit old fashioned, but when a big day that requires solid coverage should always go back to Clinique’s Superbalanced makeup. Love how I can layer it where I need more opacity, but leave it sheer where I don’t."

Mac Cosmetics Sheer/Loose

"Dust this puppy over t-zone for prevent shine and foundation from slipping off the face. It’s super fine, and not too chalky-feeling." 

Revlon ColorStay MakeUp for Normal/Dry Skin

"clear, evenly-toned skin for a big night out. Made for dry skin , doesn’t feel caked on and the colour matches skin tone perfectly. Best thing though, is that it really looks like the user has got a bare face!"

          YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation

" Thick without being cakey."
