Lady in Red.

My sister is attending an all red event. Yes – Red. You have heard of the Pure White parties where one can only wear white, right? Well this party is a fund raising event wear all the women have to wear red. How fun!

She has the dress and shoes, which match perfectly. She only sports a French manicure, so that’ll work. She just needed some help for her lips.

I came upon a wonderful beauty tip from Ross Burton, National Artistic Director for Lancôme.

To create a dramatic red lip that stays on all night, here’s my best trick: Start by applying concealer with Concealer Brush #8 around the lip area. this defines the lips and gives the color staying power so it doesn’t migrate from the lips as it wears. Then apply the shade of red you are most comfortable with. Also, if you are wearing a strong lip, go for a light eye – this will creative balance and allow the lips to garner the attention they deserve.

I will definitely help her try this. And if she is brave enough, I will post a picture or two of the lovely lady in red.
