This is one of my favorite ways to wear a softened red lip. Within each of my collaboration kits @beautypie is a lip crayon. The smoky kit contains the balmy west coast nude and the red lip kit contains the most perfect velvet matte red. Together with a favorite nudey brown long wear lip liner (this one callled foxy) I show my 3 step method for an easy red lip. 1. Apply west coast nude balm to entire lip 2 define the edges of lips with lip pencil Focus on center. 3. Apply velvet red crayon to center of lips. Remember to press lips together and with finger tip to “smoosh” each step. Also have a concealer brush nearby to tidy edges. Top off with a final coat of balm. This is a red I love to wear for day or night!
