Five Step Beauty Holly Red Lips Perfect the season’s minimal effort, maximum effect beauty look
Attention-grabbing yet classic, a vibrant Holly red hue is the perfect lipstick shade to get you through the season’s soirees. Here, Lane Crawford shows you how to perfect a smooth smudge-proof red lip in five easy steps.
Step one
Start by prepping your lips with an exfoliate lip scrub. Follow with a coating of lip balm to ensure a smooth base.
Step two
Apply a thin layer of concealer with a brush to add definition and even out skin tone around the outer lip line.
Step three
To define the top lip, dot three points in an even V shape on the cupid’s bow, then connect the dots. Connect the edges to the other corner of the lip line. Define the bottom lip line using short inward strokes and then fill lips in using lip liner.
Step four
Fill in lips with red lipstick; make sure not to go out of the edges of the outer lip line.
Step five
To keep lipstick in place, apply loose powder to the corner of your lips – the most smudge-prone area – using a small powder brush.
