.:Heather:. | 04 March 2011 | Makeup Tutorials, Uncategorized | coral, lips, lipstick, look, orange, red | 11 Comments

In this post I wanted to show you 3 different ways you can wear red lipstick, or an orange red like mine.

Tools you may need depending on which look you want to try:

Coral Red lipstick (I’m using the Zuii organic line I talked about HERE)
Concealer
Reddish lip pencil (although a neutral one would work fine)
Shimmery white eyeshadow (I ALWAYS have a small sample size in my purse)
Orange shimmer lip gloss
Lip brush

Traditional Red

1. Concealer all over lips (picture above)

2. Line lips with your lip pencil making a thick line, smudge with your finger

3. Apply red lipstick

4. Blot with tissue (pic 1 below)

5. Re-apply another coat (pic 2 below)

Color Pop

1. Concealer on lips

2. Take lip brush and apply a coat of your red lipstick (pic 1 below)

3. Apply orange lip gloss to bring out the more orange hue in your lipstick (pic 2 below)

Shimmery Light

1. Concealer on lips

2. Take lip brush and apply a coat of your red lipstick

3. Dab your finger into a shimmery white eye shadow and apply to the inner part of lips

4. Top with a clear shimmery gloss

Love these looks, Heather! I’m totally going to try these even though I’m scared about picking the wrong coral for my Asian skin tone!
