- Blend the red with your finger to get a blurred outline. This faded look retains the colour impact and looks more natural.
- The right undertone: for light skin, cool or warm reds. On matte and darker skins, warm, orange-like shades are more flattering.
- The duo of strong lips and light eye make-up is always popular, especially for a modern effortless look.
- For a beautiful matte finish, moisturise the lips well. Be careful with the extreme matte finish: the velvet texture tends to mark fine lines from dryness. Apply a balm as a mask, let it soak in and remove the excess before applying your lipstick.
- Satin finishes are reserved for natural tones.
- With a true red, the silky appearance can look a little old-fashioned, while a natural pink/rose brings fleshiness and plumpness.
