EXPERT TIPS FOR ACHIEVING A FLAWLESS GLOW
To create a natural, glowing makeup look with a bold red lip, focus on keeping the eyes soft and neutral. Warm, light brown tones on the lids add a subtle glow without overpowering the statement lip. For your base, opt for a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer, and highlight the high points of your face—like your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose—to enhance your natural dimension. Keep the contour light and blended for a soft, sculpted effect. Finally, finish the look with a bold red lip to bring a touch of drama and sophistication to your fresh, radiant makeup. This effortless pairing will leave you feeling confident and ready to own the night!
STEP 1
For a glowing complexion, start with a hyaluronic acid moisturizer to hydrate and smooth the skin. Balance matte and shiny with a lightweight powder, applied sparingly for a natural finish.
STEP 2
For the eyes, start with a natural brown as a transition shade. Use darker browns to create a sideways “V” on the outer corners, leaving space for brighter, eye-opening shades in the crease.
STEP 3
When choosing red shades, follow seasonal trends. A bold bright red or deep wine red elevates any look, adding timeless sophistication and flair, perfect for complementing current makeup styles.
