Red Hot!

Red lipstick is a beauty staple that will heat up any look. Some of today's hottest stars including Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, and Scarlett Johansson rock red lips - and you can too! Follow these fool proof steps and find your inner vixen!

1. Red lips demand attention.
Be confident in yourself and show off your pearly whites.

2. Always prep your lips.
Start with clean dry lips and a sharpened lip liner to match your lipstick shade. Always apply red lipstick with a lip brush for the most precise application.

3. Keep the focus on the lips.
Skip heavy eye makeup when wearing red lips. I suggest a neutral eye shadow in taupe to keep the attention on the lips.

4. Make it last.
To keep your lipstick lasting all night long, follow these steps. 1. Apply lipstick. 2. Blot with tissue paper. 3. Lightly powder lips. 4. Apply a final coat of lipstick. VOILA!

This season, grab a new tube of red lipstick in cherry and berry hues. Check out these shades: Benefit silky finish lipstick in Frenched, MAC mattene lipstick in Rapturous, and Sephora plumping lip gloss in Red.
