Modern Red Lip for Everyday

Start with a clean bare face!



Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer



Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 52 Vanilla



  Conceal and brighten with :
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage 3 and Clinique airbrush concealer in 04 Neutral Fair



  Covering the eye socket with the lighter brown in:
Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 204 Tisse Vendome



 Darken the outer corners with dark brown shade




highlight the inner corner with the lightest shade




Add the peachy shade to the centre of the eye on both the top and bottom lid



 Fill in eyebrows with Shiseido eyebrow pencil in dark brown



 Line top lash line with a very black liquid liner. Remember to tight line and flick out with a light wing if desired. Try and keep the liner on the thinner side.  Too thick of liner can make the look overly dramatic and that's not the look we are going for today. 




Curl your lashes and add some definition to your lashes with my favourite Kiss Me mascara. 



Now for some contouring with a matte brown shade. I am using MAC emote blush.



 Add a bit of colour to the cheeks with a neutral blush (Hourglass mood exposure) that doesn't compete with a red lip.  This also keeps the overall look relatively natural and not overdone. 
I also highlighted with BECCA highlighter to the high points of my face and powdered lightly with Chanel translucent powder.

Using a neutral red (Chanel coco shine in Dialogue) apply a thin layer and blur the lip line with your finger. 




And you're done! This look is versatile and chic. Work appropriate and works well with different outfits. Let me know in the comments below if you have tried out a modern red lip and how you like it!
