Feel the Love



Okay, now I know that it isn't quite February yet, and that means that Valentine's Day is still a few weeks away but I can't resist! RED LIPS! A lot of girls I know are afraid of red lips--don't be! My two favorite things to wear red lips with are: A LBD or jeans and a white tank. Both combinations are perfect- one glam, one casual but both with a fierce, sexy punch of color on your lips.
So here's to red! And if you don't think you can wear red, you're wrong! You just have to find the right color. Here are my favorites in no particular order.
*MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Russian Red- a highly pigmented bluish-red that is best applied with a lip brush. This color was made specifically for Madonna! (loves!)
*CoverGirl TruSine Lip Color in Valentine Shine- a strawberry shade that looks great layered on for a more intesnse look or one coat topped with gloss. So pretty.
*Urban Decay Ultraglide Lip Gloss in Gash- a deep ruby red gloss with shimmer.
*Clinique Different Lipstick in Angel Red- a good medium red, this is probably the red I recommend for beginners! It stays put on your lips and is just a great color. Nicloe Kidman wore this color in the movie Moulin Rouge!
*Make Up For Ever Super Lip Gloss in True Red--the names says it all.
*Vincent Longo Lipstain SPF 15 Lipstick in Cherry- A sheer, glossy red perfect for summer.
*Kiehl's Lip Balm SPF 15 in Hue No 30G--Give your lips moisture and color in one dose! This looks really bright, but it is actually very sheer.

Now when I wear red lipstick it is the only time I even consider putting on lip liner. It helps to keep the red where it belongs. For this I love Sally Hansen Invisible Lip Liner. Perfect, it really is invisible and helps keep the color on your lips and not on your face.
