Oooh the redness

Oooh the redness

So I figured, that I would show you guys, how I manage to wear red lipstick, so it doesn't smear off during the day and how I sculpt my lips, so it's symetrical and evenly colored.
The lipstick, which I will be using in this post, is Rimmel London's Lasting Finish By Kate Lipstick in number 13, a bright and beautiful red!
I bought this with half price off, so it was only 34,5 danish kroners, which is approx. 4 english pounds.
In the beginning I was very frightened of the color and didn't know when I would even wear it? But I said to my self, that I needed a red lipstick, because I didn't have any back then.

This is me without make up on my lips, and there isn't foundation run over them or anything, just plain bare lips. Pretty ugly, that tey're so pale, but then I just wear lipstick or liptint!!

So for a start, I always moisturize my lips 5 minutes before I apply lipcolor. I get veeery dry lips during winter, which p*sses me off, because I want my lips to soft :(
But a great tip is to use body oil, just one drop, on your lips, before you go to sleep! It saves my lips every time!

I begin with applying the lipcolor in the center of my lips, and then I take a lip-brush and begin to paint the color outwards. Using a brush gives you a more precise application and makes the color last for a longer time, because you don't apply too much product.

After filling my lips in with the color, I take either my foundation or my concealer, and a concealer brush, and begin to sculpt my lips. I do that, by dipping the brush in the product, then make a few strokes on the back of my hand to get the excess off, so I won't have a big blob of foundation right under my lip.
Then I slooowly drag the brush along the edges of my lips, so I get a nice and even line, that isn't blended with the lipcolor.

Then finish off with a with of clear lipgloss and you're good to go! :D

Bonus info: I wore this lipstick today, I applied it at 8:45 in the morning, and I still had color left on my lips, when I got home this evening at six o'clock in the evening. It has AMAZING staying power!! I'm already planning on getting a darker red from same line/collection (the one with Kate Moss)!!

Thanks for reading!
