[Trial] Basic Red Lips Look

Let me just explain first.

This isn’t really something I planned.
I’m bored.
Still working on improving the lighting in my room. :)
HAHA, I’m a tad shy in recording myself doing my makeup.
So technically, this is just a trial for the lighting I’m trying out!
There are pictures of me not looking at the camera. IDK why. Haha!
I’ve already done my concealer and foundation when I began the “tutorial”.
You don’t have to use the exact same products that I used! :)

Products used:

NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
Champagne colored eyeshadow from the Dollface Cosmetics’ Avant Garde palette
Maybelline Expert Wear Quad - Crease and Liner color
Nichido Mineral Liquid Liner
NYX Blush in Dusty Rose
The Body Shop Cranberry Joy Lipbalm
NYX Matte Lipstick in Bloody Mary

Again, I’ve already applied a primer (ELF Mineral Infused Primer from their studio line), used concealer on my undereye (ELF Color Correcting Concealer + Nichido stick foundation) and set it with a powder foundation (Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation). This is also my best attempt in defining my brows. :/ I need to have it thread.

I began with using the jumbo pencil as a base, I’ve applied it all over my lid.

I’m setting it with a champagne colored eyeshadow.. Again all over the lids.

I used the third color on the first row. It’s not too shimmery yet not too matte.

Now using the crease color from the Maybelline quad, just pack the color on your crease to give definition to your eyes.

Using the Liner color again from the same quad and an angled brush, just apply it to the half of your lower lash line. Feel free to apply a pencil liner to your water line.

After that, using the liquid liner, make sure to line it as close to your lids as possible. No wings for this since our focus is the lips.

Curl your lashes as you normally do. Use a mascara to hold your curls. (I didn’t used any mascara cause I don’t use mascara personally, my lashes are cooperative enough to stay curled for a long time even without a mascara. :P)
