Why Red Lipstick Is The Best Concealer There Is

If you look unhappy, don’t use concealer, use a red lipstick instead. I’ll tell you why.

Ihave always believed that the best makeup gesture you can make to put an end to a 
tired face is to put on a red lipstick . Because they increase our self-esteem, highlight our features and transmit determination. In addition, there is a red for each of us. All women look good in red but there is a wide range, from orange to burgundy, among which you can find yours based on your skin and hair tone.

Red lips that make you look good

The first thing is to choose the one that suits you best: burgundy-ish reds look great on women with blue or green eyes, and coral-ish reds look better on blondes.

If you tend to get barcode wrinkles, you should first spread a specific lip primer over your entire lip and over the barcode. Then use a silicone pencil (they are completely colourless) to outline your lip outside the fleshy area, that is, on the skin just around the entire lip. Next, draw your lip with a lip liner in the same colour as the lipstick you apply afterwards. This way, you will achieve perfect, leak-free lips.

And if anyone still doubted the power of red lips, TikTok has made it clear once again and has turned it into the best ally of the latest viral makeup trend: #no mascara makeup . A hashtag with millions of views that defends that the truly cool thing is not to put makeup on your eyelashes (beyond a touch of transparent mascara) and go all out with red lips. For the look to work, it is essential to work it on hydrated and luminous skin – better a BB cream or concealer than a foundation – and strong eyebrows.

To make your lip makeup last longer, remember to outline it with a pencil before applying the lipstick and cover it with lipstick. This way you will increase the duration of the colour. Also, even if you use a long-lasting lipstick, you should touch it up every two or three hours to prevent it from cracking or fading throughout the day.
