So I've recently begun wearing red lipstick as a makeup change up. It's difficult, I'll admit.
The most challenging part for me is making sure that my lips are moisturized because... hello. Chapped lips hold color about as well as a newborn can hold their head up. Which is not at all.
So here's my tips...
Vaseline can fix any amount of dehydration in your lips. It is best to use it the night before you plan on wearing your lipstick compared to lathering on the petroleum jelly 5 minutes before you add the head turning color. You can even wear Vaseline in your shower, the heat has always helped my lips when combined with Vaseline.
Always always always line and cancel out the colors in your lips. It's usual to want to skip making your lips the perfect canvas, especially when you have ten minutes to get to your first class. But if you're running that behind... maybe you shouldn't be worrying about makeup. But I've found that you can use concealer or a nude colored lipstick as your color canceler, depending on the lipstick. Lining is easy, but make sure you don't end up looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein with the over done lips.
Make sure your lipstick isn't on the inside of your lips. Lipstick on the teeth can be very unappealing.
