    Red Lipstick Makeup Step by Step (Beginner's Guide)

    Eye Makeup

    Knowing which colors pair best with red is always a plus. If you have light-colored eyes, you might be tempted to go for more striking shades. But since your lips will be the star of the look, you can keep your eyes simpler. Red lipstick and eyeliner have always been the most eye-catching duo. Try a cat-eye with black eyeliner for a clean, simple eye look.

    When you want to add a simple but effective touch to your feminine look, reach for some shimmer. Shimmer brings your eyes forward without upstaging your lips. With Alix Avien red lipstick shades, you can finish your look without overshadowing your eyes.

    When you want a more daring look, a smoky eye is the way to go. If you're going for evening makeup, apply darker shades to the outer corners of your eyes. Metallic shades on the inner corners won't weigh down your makeup and will make your eyes pop. We do recommend skipping black, though. It can make your makeup look very dark, and you may not get the effect you're after.

    Complexion

    We always recommend cleansing your skin before doing a red lipstick look. Clean skin not only shows off your products better, it also helps take care of your skin. For red to really stand out, your base needs to look flawless. With Alix Avien foundation, you can choose a shade that matches your skin and cover any spots or redness.

    For a flawless base, don't forget to apply moisturizer and primer on clean skin. Moisturizer gives your skin the support it needs, while a makeup primer helps your products look their best.

    Since red lipstick needs to shine on its own, your skin should be completely free of redness while you do your makeup. Use Alix Avien concealer to cover all the redness on your skin and get the look you want!

    How to Apply Red Lipstick: A Guide to the Best Techniques

    We all have our own way of applying lipstick. But red lipstick leaves no room for mistakes! That's why we put together this red lipstick guide to help you get flawless lips. Here are our best tips!

    Tip: Lightly powdering your lips before applying red lipstick helps it last longer.

    Before applying Alix Avien red lipstick, make sure your lips are moisturized. Your lips deserve the same care you give your skin. Exfoliate them once or twice a week and use a brush to boost circulation. Your lips will look better and appear fuller, too.

    Moisturizer is always the secret to great makeup. It helps your lipstick look its best and matters for application, too. Outline your lips with a lip liner that matches your red shade. Then carefully fill in your lipstick without going outside the lines. Just make sure there's no color difference between the two, so you don't end up with a dated look on your lips!

    As a final step, apply concealer around your lips to make them stand out. That's everything we recommend for a red lipstick look. And last but not least, our gloss tip: if you want your lips to look even better, finish with Alix Avien lip gloss. You're ready for your bold, daring look!
