How to Apply The Perfect Red Lip

Its no surprise that I LOVE bright lips. Its my favorite thing to do! If I HAD to choose one piece of makeup to live with for the rest of my life (thank God I don’t really have to do that) but I would definitely have to keep my red lips.

See I’m telling you… Same bright lip, Different day.

I have done many Red Carpet events in my days and anytime someone is not sure about trying on a bright lip, I apply it on just so they can see it and they end up LOVING it.

Like… April, Trey Songz mom. I do her makeup when she is in town attending events with her son. This is her with a bright lip, I talked her into doing this for a premiere she was attending and she loved it.

You would be surprised on how many steps can go into achieving the perfect red lip. I mean you obviously don’t do these steps everyday but when you are attending a red carpet event or taking pictures all night long these steps make a difference!

Anyway… Here is a special video I put together showing you how to apply the perfect bright lip!

What piece of makeup can you not live with out?

How to get Red Carpet Ready!

So I have now been a makeup artist for officially 10 years! geez I feel old! but I have quite a few Red Carpet experiences under my belt. From big events like the Grammys and Oscars to small store openings! A few things you have to remember about red carpet you got to use primers and long lasting makeup because these events are long and they cant go in looking gorgeous and come out looking, well…. not so pretty! haha

Some brands of primers I like are, smashbox, two faced, and Laura Mercier. I have never had a problem with these and also know that these will definitely help your foundation last all night! Primers to use on your eyes, Urban Decay, and Macs paint pots! I love them!

Anyway, here is one look I put together for you all recreating Kim K’s look at the Golden Globes and I also added some fun nails to go with the look:)

Don’t you want to learn how to get these fancy pantsy nails?! Hope you love it!

For all the faux redheads and true redheads, you can and you should be able to wear red lipstick. There are now a wide variety of red lipstick shades for your type of red head.

Forget the make up rule of redheads shouldn’t wear red lipstick.. It’s sexy.

MAC: LADY DANGER!

So I have spent the last day editing a video that was requested for a quick fast back to school makeup look.

If we had YouTube back when I was in high school I’m sure it would have shown a lot of people how easy it was to get ready in 5 minutes!

I hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I did making it for you all!!!

So I picked out basic items that everyone should have in their makeup bag. Not many brushes needed besides a blush brush and a kabuki brush but you can use your blush brush to apply the mineral powder and bronzing powder.

Have fun!!!
