i always love red lips. sexy. classic. elegant. various shades of reds.

have you seen one of pixiwoo's 1930 look makeup tutorial where sam wears a nice dark red lip color? absolutely classic. the lipstick used is Beaute's Weightless Lip Creme in Masochist, which of course not available in australia. but i'm hoping i can win one because lipstick rules is giving it away! and not many giveaways is open internationally!

here's me in one of my favorite true red lipstick, mac viva glam:

to make the red lips stand out, all facial makeups are kept to the minimal and used a lighter shade of foundation. think, snow white.

items used

edm mineral foundation in fairly light neutral. this is my winter foundation. it's now summer and i'm a bit tanned and it's paler than my current skin tone. perfect for this snow white like look.

shu uemura eye shadow in charcoal to fill in the brows. use the same product as eye liner.

l'oreal soft effects eyecolor in mocha buff. this is not very pigmented. perfect to give a bit of contour yet gives this no-makeup look. use the darker brown to smudge the black eyeliner from the above to give a very soft smokey effect.

silk naturals blush in climax.

mac lipstick in viva glam. a perfect true red in color for me.
