A Better Red Lip

When I was a teenager I would take the bus across the Golden Gate Bridge to a theatrical makeup store on Polk street in San Francisco to buy my favorite red lipstick. It was in a theatrical makeup shop and the lipstick was cheap, insanely matte and didn’t budge when it was on. I can’t remember how I found it initially, but from then on it was MY red and I’d ride the bus for hours alone to go get it. This was the beginning of my life long love for two things: makeup hunting and red lipstick.
A red lip is powerful. It commands attention and requires maintenance. It’s also a lot like a relationship, ignore it and it will be a mess. But there’s something truly transformative about wearing a red lip. You stand taller, look people in the eye longer and adopt a bit of a swagger. It’s instant attitude.
Never dabbled in red lipstick territory? Have no fear, I’m here to help.
Find the right red for you & get a lip liner that matches so you can get a sharp edge every time. Some people are an orange-red kinda red. Some are a blue-red kinda red. Some want that true red-red like you’d find at an art supply store Find the one that makes you feel good and adopt it. Claim it as your own. I love Emilie Heathe's Lip Atelier 212.
However you choose to wear your statement red lip, wear it with confidence and a little extra swagger.
