I do not like the way red lipstick looks on me.  At all.  But I know that it's many women's power color, so I wanted this Friday Flash to show just how to get it to stay on all night.  Happy weekend!

Five Looks - Bright Eyes/Bold Lip

Our next look is the Bright Eyes/Bold Lip (here are the first and second looks).  Since most people I’ve worked with seem more confident by enhancing their lips, this look is usually their go-to when they want a little something extra.  It’s also great if you’re running late but still want to look stunning. Make sure your skin is moisturized, and use foundation and concealer for a gorgeous canvas.  Set with powder then highlight and contour, making sure to add a little luminizer to the cheek bones – you can skip the blush unless you want it, but make sure it’s muted.  Draw on black liner (a cat eye is always fun) and use lots of mascara and/or false lashes.  Fill in brows, then line lips with a neutral pencil.  Apply your favorite bold lip color, blot, and reapply.  Set the look with setting spray, and make sure there’s no lipstick on your teeth!
