Red My Lips.

I've never been a big lipstick person. Usually I put the focus on the eyes, and left the lips fairly natural as I thought bold lipsticks didn't suit me. If I even bother wearing more than a lip balm I wear a very sheer gloss, a tiny bit darker than my natural lip colour, but the other day I decided to try a red lippie I had lying around. Not sure when I got this lipstick, but it's a Revlon Matte Lipstick in Really Red, and I've fallen in love with it. I tried the red lips thing at uni the other day, liked it so tried it again last night when I went to LMFF Independant Runway Show (Which was FANTASTIC). I wore it with a predominantly black outfit with gold accents. I think I'll be wearing red lippy a lot more now!

These were taken at the end of the night, so while I touched up the red for the photos, it looked better earlier on!

    You look so beautiful and flawless, em! I think you look great with any lip colour! But I do tend to keep my lip pale or neutral as well.

    Thanks hopey :) I'm feeling inspired to try a few more, might go buy some colourful lippies on my uni break! I've always been a gloss person rather than a matte lipstick girl, so it's a lovely change! Hope you're well!!

    The red looks excellent on you with the dark hair - I think you have found a fab "new look."

    Thanks Jenny!

    Krissy, I'm not sure, but it was probably just dove tinted moisturiser, with some dior powder and blush, revlon eyeliner, estee lauder shadow and loreal mascara. Oh yay! I love getting followers :D Will check yours out now!!
