Bright Lips & Fresh Skin

8th July 2021

It’s officially summer! The best time of year to play with bright shades and flaunt luminous, sun-kissed skin. After months of wearing a mask, why not go all out with a lipstick that makes an impact?

The key to pulling off this look is to keep the rest of your makeup pared right back, allowing natural dewy skin and clean, fluffy brows to soften the effect of a bold lip. A great red lip starts with good skin prep. Hydration is so important to achieve this look, so make sure you use a good moisturiser and don’t forget SPF!

If you’re feeling brave, keep skin bare and pair with a classic bright red lip for the ultimate ‘French Girl’ look. A touch of highlighter across the high points of your cheeks and a swipe of mascara and you’re good to go. To keep it looking effortless, skip the lip pencil and go right in with your lipstick, dabbing with your finger to diffuse and soften the lines. If you do opt for foundation, keeping the skin looking natural and clear.

If you do want a more polished look, use a lip pencil to line the lips, perfecting your cupids bow and making the lips appear bigger if desired. Use the pencil to shade the entire lip to ensure your look stays put all day, and then follow with the matching lipstick.

Here at Emolyne, we have found this to be the quickest and easiest way to look chic and pulled-together for any occasion. Which shade of red will you be trying?
