what's hot?

Channel your inner Marilyn Monroe or Dita Von Teese
What's hot this winter? Red lips! Lips coloured with delicious berry and wine hues. Enhance this trend with a sheer lip gloss that will instantly plump your lips. If you want to buy your very first red lipstick, it's important for you to know which shade to choose!

There are several different shades of red, each for a different skin tone. Red lipstick looks best on cool skin tones. Fair skin-toned women should choose a pink or plum lipstick with red undertones. For dark skin tones, you should try deep warm reds. Those who have medium skin tones, avoid anything that's orange-ish. Anything that's berry or cherry will look great!

You should take into consideration your lips shape too. So if you have thin lips, you should opt for a lighter shade & if you have fuller lips, you can choose shades of deeper and darker reds.

As for the rest of the face, create a flawless base with a matte foundation. Dust the cheeks with an illuminisor. Create a soft socket with a taupe matte eyeshadow. Add a flick of liquid or gel eyeliner to the top lash line & finish the look with a few coats of black mascara.
