Fall Favorite: The Red Lip

This fall, have been inspired by the cherry and brick red colored lips featured in magazine editorials and Instagram feeds. The bold splash of color is refreshing after a summer of lip balm and neutral glosses. Always a bit uncomfortable wearing bright lipstick, I vowed to find two shades I like. After testing multiple shades, have landed on two combinations that work well.

When looking for a bit of evening glamour, the classic bright red lip is a favorite. Layer MAC’s Redd lip pencil with their Russian Red lipstick and top off with a coat of shiny clear gloss. Maintenance is key with this look so be sure to reapply after dinner or drinks. For day or a casual evening out, Nars Olivia lipstick is perfect. The deep red in a creamy matte finish looks lovely when applied directly to the lip.  I keep the rest of my makeup simple and the lips are the perfect accessory. Try these or test others to find the perfect shade for you.

Bisous,
