Swipe some red lipstick on your bare skin or apply it on top of your foundation for a flush of colour. It gives your skin the perfect flushed look. So, what are you waiting for? Complete your blush makeup with red lipstick if you prefer to carry minimal makeup while travelling or have run out of blush.

Red lipstick can act as a colour corrector and help you cancel the blue and green tones in your skin.

Doing your eye makeup with red lipstick will help you create a sultry and fiery look. Simply apply some creamy red lipstick across your eyelids and blend with a fluffy brush. To set this in place, use some translucent powder. This will add a beautiful shade of red to your eyes and create the perfect eye look.  

4. As an Eyeliner

Another creative way of doing your makeup with red lipstick is to use it as an eyeliner.

Take some red liquid lipstick on a fine brush and use it to create a beautiful winged liner. This is a great way to add a pop of colour to your look and utilise the creative side of yours.
