Classic Red Lip

Step by step

1. 1

   Foundation

   Start in the center of your face and blend outward with a damp sponge or brush.

   Check the shade on your jaw in daylight. It should disappear.

2. 2

   Concealer

   Dot under your eyes and around the sides of your nose, then tap to blend.

   Less is more. You can always add a second dot.

3. 3

   Setting powder

   Press a little translucent powder on your forehead, nose and chin with a puff or fluffy brush.

   Press, don’t swipe, so your base stays smooth.

4. 4

   Brows

   Fill any gaps with light hair-like strokes, then brush through.

   Keep the front of the brow softer than the tail.

5. 5

   Thin liner

   Draw a thin line close to your top lashes.

   Keep your eyes simple so your lips shine.

6. 6

   Mascara

   Look down into the mirror, wiggle the wand at the roots of your top lashes and sweep up.

   One coat for fresh, two for a little more.

7. 7

   Lip liner

   Outline your lips with a red liner, starting at the cupid’s bow, then fill in a little.

   Smile slightly to line the corners neatly.

8. 8

   Red lipstick

   Fill in with red lipstick from the center out, blot, then add a second coat.

   Clean any edges with a little concealer on a small brush.
