How To Do A Red Carpet Lip


The red lip was popular at the Golden Globes this week. Hues of poppy to cranberry to deep crimson popped up all over the red carpet on the lips of host of celebrities such as Golden Globe winner Tracee Ellis Ross, Anna Kendrick, Chrissy Teigen, Brie Larson, Lily Collins, Priyanka Chopra, Teresa Palmer, and Riley Keough. This classic, glamorous look is powerful and pretty. Follow these steps below and you will be applying the timeless color like a pro.

  • Brush lips with a toothbrush or washcloth to whisk away dead skin.
  • Hydrate with a lip balm if desired.
  • Outline the lips, starting with the cupid's bow, with L.I.P Liner Pencil in Brick.
  • Once you have finished the line, fill in the lips with the pencil for added staying power.
  • Pro tip: blot lips with a tissue and then color in any faded spots.
  • Follow with L.I.P Cream in Valentine.
  • For a glossy lip, add a coat of Glosstone Pro in Crystal Clear.

Want something brighter? Try L.I.P Cream in Big Apple. Desire something a little pinker? Go with Velvet Rose. Deeper? You'll love Cherrywood.

Last weekend Mehron Girl Nicole Aspradakis did the brand proud at the European Bodypainting Festival, taking 6th place overall. The event, hosted in the picturesque Netherlands, was a summer bodypainting fairy tale. The artists worked outdoors under tents in a beautiful park amid a lush, green landscape. In this open air space, fans could watch over the artists' shoulders as they created their magic. Their art was then presented in a spectacular stage show. Nicole's creations brought powerful messages to life. In Round 1, themed Wonders of Nature, Nicole expressed her concern for ocean life. "I have always lived near the ocean and I admire and adore its powerful and beautiful nature. Unfortunately, it's slowly losing its beauty as it progressively gets more and more polluted and the gorgeous and colorful sea life is extinguished and replace by rubbish.
