Read MoreWell, we admit, our lips are usually red after sipping wine or nibbling on pomegranate seeds. But sometimes, only a full-on application of cherry red or vamp lipstick will do. Getting it right is not always easy. Don’t wait until you are getting ready to go out – practice in advance with different techniques, colors, and lipstick types. Or come on into Halo for a make up lesson and have a pro help you find your perfect shade. Prep!

Use patient, short strokes. Start with a horizontal line under your lower lip and two dots in your cupids bow on your upper lips. Connect! Insider trick! Melissa suggests, “As a base, try a lip stain to intensify reds and conceal the look of fading lipstick between touch-ups.” For control, use a lip brush to apply the lipstick. Work from the outer edges of your lip to in to give a more precise line. Any mistakes can be concealed with a concealer and brush. Unless you are using matte lipstick, make the application last longer and look smoother by mushing your lips together. To blot or not...
