Other than liquid eye liner, the most feared cosmetic has to be bright red lipstick. As someone who considers it to be one of her signature looks, I’ll freely admit that there is some work that goes into the perfect red pout, but the payoff (especially around the holidays) is so worth it. The trick to a red lip is finding your perfect shade. Orange-based red tones will do wonders for warm complexions while blue-based varieties work well for those of us who are cool-toned. Trust me when I say that you’ll know it when you find one that works. With the perfect hue, it’s so easy to create a party-worthy face in just a matter of minutes. And since a red lip is so dramatic, it allows you to save time on the rest of your look.
