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!

  1. 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.

  2. 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!!
