The Red Lips

I used to watch my friend Keish when she was doing her make-up. She’s a flight attendant and she can’t ride the plane without “heavy” make-up. I called it heavy because she was wearing super red lips! She said it is a must for them to wear that lipstick color.

When I did the red lips for my model, I found it quite ironic, I first hated red lips, but it revealed the essence of make-up balancing. I enjoyed the simplicity and putting focus on one or two parts of your face. I wanted the focus on my model’s eyebrows and lips and kept the rest natural. One of the techniques I’ve learned in achieving red and luscious lips is to condition your lips before applying lipstick. It’ll make the application easier, and of course, smoother.
