Trend Alert: Red Lipstick
Trend Alert: Red Lipstick06 April 2009
Vampy red lips are one of the hottest beauty trends around!
We never thought wed see Kim Kardashian as a beauty icon, but the girl formerly known as Paris Hiltons BFF, has recently surprised us with her glamorous new look! Apart from her glossy locks and flawless makeup (loving the Bambi eyes Kim!) its her sexy scarlet pout that attracts us. Kim seemed to be taking inspiration from red lippie fans like Dita Von Teese and Gwen Stefani and she looked gorgeous as a result! Red lipstick is making a real comeback and with a huge selection of shades to choose from, ranging from orangey-red to bluish-red, theres guaranteed to be one to suit you. If you have pale skin, look for a red lippie with a blue undertone, while if you have medium-to-dark skin, opt for a more intense red with a brown base. Dark skin looks amazing with pinky-reds, bright fuchsia and orange-based poppy reds like Barry Ms lip paint in Pillar Box Red. We also love MACs lipstick in Lady Bug. Follow Kim's lead and keep the rest of your make-up light and neutral, avoiding dark eye shadow, for a modern take on retro glamour. The best thing about this trend is, even if youre wearing your favourite old boyfriend jeans and a vintage tee, a sweep of red lipstick will make you look and feel instantly fabulous!
