If you've read my previous post on red lipstick you'll know that the best way to choose a colour is by matching you're whole look accordingly. This post will feature my really good friend Nisha, I've used Ruby Woo by M.A.C and I'm going to show you how to match your makeup properly to suit it.
So as you can see, I've used gold tones on the eyes to brighten the face. The key to matching the lips to your makeup is to make sure the whole look goes well. First red lips go very well with golds and browns. I used a darker brown mixed slightly with black to add some definition. Now this step it so create dimension on the eyes and open up the whole face. When applying a crease colour you should be cautious as to what tones will suit both the lip colour and your initial lid shade. For example, a dark purple along the crease may suit the gold tone on the lid but will clash with the red lip. Its all about look at the whole image. Heavy liner worked well with Nisha because she has big eyes but for a smaller a eye shape you may want to re think this. Here are a list of products I used to create this:
