Not many woman wear red lipstick, but Marilyn Monroe was the trend setter for red lipstick. And guess what? Any woman can pull off red lipstick! It doesn’t matter what your hair color is because red lips look hot on everyone. Any gal who steps out in red lipstick appears confident and sexy. When you where red lipstick your making a statement. With a little bit of red on your lips you’re demanding attention and you’ll make every guy wish his girlfriend was as hot as you!
But, a red lip has to be perfect. If you’re using a lipstick, first use a lip liner to line your lips, and then apply lipstick with a lip brush, blot, and then reapply the lipstick.
but don’t forget the key to pulling off any red lip color is to have healthy  lips. Lipstick never looks good on chapped lips. And some lipsticks dry out lips even more. Keep your lips healthy and kissable with a lip balm containing natural ingredients such as beeswax and SPF. Also since your red lips will be the focus of your face keep the rest of your make-up minimal.
