BEAUTY BASICS | The Red Lip

Sunday, 4 December 2011


Not quite the "Perfect" red lip... this is more like my red lip.
Most times I opt for a Matte look, other times I want a Moisturising feel. I show how I go about applying my red lip, and I also share with you my lip therapy tips, as well as a few favourite Red Lip products of mine!

Hope you take the plunge and try out the red lip, if you haven't already! :)

The sucking on your finger trick is such a good tip! Thanks for that. Will try it. Almost cracked up when you said "I know it looks wrong...".... You're lucky that both blue toned reds and plum/cherry reds suit you. Gorgeous as always. :)

Ok, Shirley...the sugar and olive oil trick is great... for other reasons.Tried it out for the first time before a date with a flame on Thursday and it seems to have left remnants of sugary flavor on my lips. When he kissed me, he paused with (good) surprise and was like, "Jeez even your lips taste sweet." And that's all she wrote!! LOL. Thanks love
