How to apply natural red lipstick






PRODUCTS USED: ^_^

Chapstick = Carmex
Lipstick Pencil = Missha (peachy pink)
Lipstick = Mac (Ladybug)
I don’t like wearing DARK lipstick.. so I decided to do a tutorial on how to make “natural looking red lips”.  This color is famous among a lot of Korean celebrities =).  This red lipstick is absolutely beautiful!  It is kind of shimmery and sheer.  The lipstick it self looks dark, but when you apply it on your lips it’s not.  Make sure you apply primer or makeup foundation on your lips before you apply the chapstick!

Nail Foils Collection and Descriptions - Orange and Red Foils

The following is next installment of my nail art foil collection. This one will contain all of my orange (well technically there is only one orange one lol) and red foils. I purchased these foils from Dollar Nail Art a few weeks ago and have been working my way through trying them all out. This post will contain a brief description of the effect that these foils have on the nail when applied as well as product photos to make is easier for you to choose which ones you would like to purchase if you choose to do to.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.




 Cherry O's:
Cherry O's is a blue based red foil with a hollow circle pattern and dots covering it. These dots and circles reflect blue, pink and purple depending on where the light hits it creating a pretty holographic effect. 


 Cherry Pie:
Cherry Pie is a solid blue based red with a metallic finish. It is not as reflective as the gold or silver foils but it still has some reflective qualities.


 Diamond Red:
Diamond Red is a blue based red foil with a diamond pattern similar to that seen in Gold Crush along the entire length of it. The diamond patter reflects pink, blue and purple depending where the light hits it creating a pretty holographic effect. To see this foil in use please check out tartofraises1's blog post here



Lipstick Red:
Lipstick Red is a solid blue based red with a metallic finish. It is similar to Cherry Pie but it is a little more red compaired to the slightly pink tone Cherry Pie gets when they are placed next to each other, it is also slightly darker. You really don't need both of these reds because as I said they are very similar and I would personally choose Lipstick Red because it is more or a true lipstick red like the name suggests.


 Peach Burst:
Peach Burst is a peach based foil with a holographic rainbow reflect to it. It is very similar to foils such as Gold Spectrum except with a different base colour. When applied on the nail it creates a line of rainbow reflection along the length of the nail. If you would like to see this foil in action please follow this link to a tutorial by Miss80Million on Youtube.


 Red Glitter:
Red Glitter is a very good name for this foil because that is a very good description of what the it actually loos like. This is a blue based red foil with a dotted pattern covering the entire length of it which shine like glitter in the light.


 Scarlet Frost:
Scarlet Frost is a blue based red foil with a swirling pattern covering the entire length of the nail. The swirls reflect pink purple and blue depending on where the light hits it. This foil reminds me of water on a lake.

Red Glitter Love

I just got a couple of Finger Paints, and one was this like darker red with glitter. I just wanted a darker red and it looked good. Once I tried it though, I loved it. It is "Romanticism Ruby." And it certainly made me feel romantic. Nothing like a good standout red to make you look hot. :D
This is just one coat with a base and top coat. If I had done another coat it would have come out darker, but I was in a rush. My previous color had just chipped off.

Tutorial








As promised: my first tutorial.
I went for a gold with red/burgundy look. This took me FOREVER lol, but here it is, hope you enjoy.

(please ignore the redness caused by fanatical eye brow picking)


I started by putting MAC's paintpot in Soft Ochre all over the lid with my finger.

































Then, I applied NYX jumbo eye pencil in milk on the lid to make the eyeshadows pop and blended it.
















































For the inner corner hightlight, I used Silky Gold from Catrice (LE from the Caramé collection) with a Sigma SS 214 (short bristle smudger brush).
(I know you can barely see it on the picture, sorry.)
















































I then put Woodwinked from MAC next to it, till about halfway my lid, with a MAC 239 (flat shader brush).
















































Next is Amber Lights, also from MAC, with the same brush.


































The last colour I used for the lid is Spiced Red from Catrice (LE from the Caramé collection). Again, same brush.

































For the lower lid I used the same colours, in the same order with the SS 214


















To blend out and darken the crease I used Sketch from MAC with a Sigma SS 226 (tapered blending brush).

















































Next is eye liner. I put MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack on the lower and upper waterline and smudged it in between my lashes using the Sigma SS 266 (angled eyeliner brush).

















































No look is complete without mascara! Lots and lots of masara. I used Masterpiece mascara from MaxFactor (like it but not as much as the False Lash Effect).


































And for some extra glam, I added false lashes. I bought these at Claire's, but forgot what they're called.



















And that completes the look. The lighting still needs work. These colours are so much more vibrant in person.
I really had fun making this, but my god did it take long...
Let me know what u think!
