Try: Red Lipstick

What You Want: Bold red lips that are fresh and youthful.

How to Get the Look:

Choose a sheer lipstick formula, which creates a more natural look than a cream or a matte does.

Apply lip balm and allow it to sink in for a few minutes.

Blot lips with a tissue to remove excess balm, then define and fill in with a muted red or berry pencil. Line with the side of the pencil, not the tip.

Use a lip brush to apply a thin, even layer of lip color. “Precision is essential for this look, and using a brush prevents the color from looking sloppy,” says makeup artist Carlo Longo.

With such a bold mouth, keep the eyes simple. A bit of black mascara on the top lashes is all you need.
