RED LIPS… aww you guys all know my LOVE with bright, bright, bright lips! I’ve seen so many celebrities rock’n the bright red lips so I am going to show you how to do it the right way because you guys dont want those lips to smear right away or look super messy.

PRODUCTS:

Concealer: to nude your lips

Lip liner: Cherry Lip Liner from (MAC)

Lipstick: You Say Tomato (limited from MAC but you can get MAC RED)

Gloss: Clear Lip Gloss (MAC)

Your going to have to apply concealer all over and around your lip to nude out your natural color and to avoid your lipstick from bleeding.

Then take Cherry Liner, line your lips and color in a little bit just like the picture

.

Take Concealer and clean up your lips, your going to need a flat brush.

Take the brush and apply the concealer around  your lips (like the picture below) to clean them up and take out any imperfection.

Then blend in the concealer, and apply the clear gloss.

On November 4, 2008 Proposition 8 passed in California, amending the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The defeat provoked a groundswell of initiative within the GLBT community at a grassroots level, with many new political and protest organizations being formed in response.

The NOH8 Campaign is a photographic silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska (http://www.bouska.net) and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8. Photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world, with “NOH8″ painted on one cheek in protest.

Nearly one year since its inception, the NOH8 Campaign has grown to over 2,000 faces and continues to grow at an exponential rate. The campaign began with portraits of everyday Californians from all walks of life and soon rose to include politicians, military personnel, newlyweds, law enforcement, artists, celebrities, and many more.

The NOH8 Campaign has received overwhelming support from around the world, appearing on various local and national news programs and publications. The images are currently being used on various social networking sites to spread the message of equality, predominantly Facebook and Twitter. Eventually the images are expected to be compiled for a large-scale media campaign.

Funds raised by the NOH8 Campaign will be used to continue promoting and raising awareness for Marriage Equality and anti-discrimination on a global level through an educational and interactive media campaign.
