Mouthing Off

Loud mouths really do get all the attention. Did you know the average man stares at a woman wearing red lipstick for roughly 7 seconds? But like any high voltage trend, there are some key tricks and tips essential to getting it right:
  • Make sure to exfoliate. Got chapped lips? A hot pink or electric orange is like the make-up world’s version of a Herve Leger dress. It shows EVERYTHING. Soften your pout with a lip scrub first. Try Treat’s Coconut Shea Butter Lip Scrub.
  • To ensure a perfect application, apply an under eye concealer around the edges of your lips. This will create a waxy barrier and help keep your color inside the lines.
  • Keep the rest of your face at a bare minimum. Skip the smoky eyes, dramatic blush, and excessive liner. The prettiest way to rock a loud lip is with a single coat of mascara to curled lashes and a tinted moisturizer. If you need a little more, try a neutral hued eye shadow, soft peach blush, and a touch of black eye liner.
Tell us: what color will you be rocking this season?
