The Perfect Red Lip

With Christmas just around the corner, what better way to get into this festive season than with the colours of Christmas. Red, a colour that is striking, represents power, stands out and is very sexy! And no better way to show it then on your lips on Christmas Day. With the weight gain from all the feasts shared with family and friends, to running after kids, that last thing you need is a faded or smudged lipstick. To avoid your lipstick fading and creating a defined shape, match your lipstick colour to a red lip liner. line your lips with the lip liner, and then colour in the rest of your lips. This will act as a base to your lipstick and will allow it to stick to the lipstick for longer. Go over this with the red lipstick of your choice.

Here we take a trip down memory lane to the celebrities that have had the best red lips on the red carpet.

Copy Kat Dennings's Red Lip and Loose Waves

At London premiere of Thor: The Dark World, Kat Dennings gave us a lesson in classic beauty, teaming a creamy red lip with perfect skin; bold brows; neutral eye shadow; and soft, modern waves in her hair. It's an easy look to copy provided you go slowly, starting with a matte base to ensure your skin looks as flawless as possible. Fill your brows in next, and then build up a light smoky eye using mid-browns and shimmering pale bronze. Top with plenty of black mascara, and then turn your attention to those lips. A lip liner is essential to keep red lipstick in place; use it all over the lips instead of just around the edges, and it'll act like a glue for the colour itself (plus, you'll never end up with visible lip line if the lipstick wears off). Apply the lipstick in two coats, blotting in between. As for your hair, use a wide-barrel tong or iron to create natural-looking waves on sections of various sizes, or, if you're lucky enough to have naturally wavy hair, let it dry naturally, and use Kerastase gloss appeal to smooth away any frizz.
