The Natural Look

Finding the right eye makeup for red lips can be difficult, if you aren't sure exactly what look you are going for! The natural look is super easy and it actually draws all of the attention to your lips, which is where you want the attention. Just a curl of your eyelashes, some mascara and even some light eye shadow can go a really long way – and look completely natural!

UPD:

The natural look is a great way to showcase your red lips in a subtle and elegant way. With just a few simple steps, you can achieve a look that will draw attention to your lips without overpowering them. Start by curling your eyelashes with an eyelash curler to create a wide-eyed, natural look. Then, apply a few coats of mascara to open up your eyes even more. Finally, add a light dusting of eye shadow in a neutral shade to give your eyes a subtle definition. This will help to bring out the color of your lips without taking away from them. With these simple steps, you can create a natural look that will draw attention to your red lips.

The Bombshell Look

If you're looking for a look that is totally sexy and really draws all kinds of attention to your lips, this is the look for you! Red lipstick goes great with smoky eyes, as long as they are done right -- and not overdone. Do something dark, like dark brown or gray and pair it with a bit of smudged liner. This will really be dramatic yet not over the top!

UPD:

The Bombshell Look is the perfect choice for those looking to make a bold statement and draw attention to their lips. Red lipstick is the perfect choice, as it will make your lips pop and stand out. However, it is important to pair it with the right eye makeup. Dark brown or gray eyeshadow, paired with a smudged eyeliner, will look dramatic yet not too over the top. To complete the look, use a light dusting of blush on the apples of your cheeks and curling your eyelashes for a flirty finish.

For those who want to go a step further, use a highlighter on the inner corner of your eyes and the bridge of your nose to make your eyes appear brighter. To ensure your makeup lasts all day, use a primer before you apply your eyeshadow and a setting spray after you’re done. Finally, don’t forget to use a lip liner when applying your lipstick, as it will help it stay in place for longer.

The Bombshell Look is a classic and timeless look that is sure to turn heads. With the right makeup techniques, you can achieve a dramatic yet not overly done look that will make you feel confident and glamorous.

The Classic Look

If you are looking to pull off a classic look with a red lip, you've got to make sure that your eyes are neutral. A little bit of shimmer is definitely recommended, but stay away from the glitter, girls. Also, adding a touch of darker mascara is a great way to ensure that your eyes really pop!

UPD:

When wearing a classic red lip, it is important to keep the eyes neutral. To achieve this look, a light shimmer eyeshadow is recommended, but avoid using glitter. Additionally, adding a touch of darker mascara will make your eyes stand out. For an even more polished look, use an eyeliner to define the lash line. To finish off the look, use a setting spray to keep your makeup in place all day. With these tips, you can create a timeless classic look with a red lip that will never go out of style.

The Sexy Look

If you're looking to go a little sexier with your red lips, why not go with some thicker eyeliner lines. Black mascara, black eyeliner and even some soft shimmer can really draw attention to not just your lips, but your eyes too. Also, add a shine to those red lips and really make them stand out!

UPD:

One of the best ways to create a sexy look with red lipstick is to pair it with black eyeliner and mascara. When it comes to eyeliner, you can use a thicker line to draw attention to both your eyes and lips. Black mascara will also help to make your eyes stand out. To complete the look, add a bit of shimmer to your eyes and a glossy finish to your lips.

For a more dramatic look, try using a dark, smoky eye. Start by applying a black eyeshadow to your eyelids and blend it up towards the crease. Then, use a black eyeliner to draw a thick line along your upper lash line. For the lower lash line, use a lighter shade of eyeshadow and blend it down towards the corner of your eye. Finally, use a few coats of black mascara to make your eyes really pop.

If you want to go even bolder, try adding some false eyelashes. False lashes can be a great way to make your eyes look bigger and more dramatic. For a more natural look, try using individual lashes instead of a full set.

No matter what type of look you're going for, don't forget to pair your red lipstick with a coordinating lip liner.

Day Look

While you might be thinking that red lips are a little too bold for the office, you aren't necessarily right, girls; red lips can go anywhere! You've just got to make sure that you are doing it right. A little mascara, some eyeliner and some shimmer eye shadow and you've got a great day look!

7

Subtle Look

If you are looking for something a little more subtle, why not go with a lip stain for your red lips and then add a bit of gloss. This will tone down the red a little bit, but you'll still have that shine. Also keep your eyes a little toned down too. It'll almost look like everything is natural!

The Cat Eye Look

The timeless pairing of a simple cat eye and stunning red lips is one of my favorite looks! You don't need to go over the top or over complicate things for this look, just create an elegent cat eye, put on a coat of mascara, and a bright red pucker. Then you instantly become a picture-perfect work of art!

UPD:

To nail the cat eye look, precision is key! Begin with a smooth base, evening out your eyelid with a touch of primer or concealer. Steady your hand and use a fine-tip liquid eyeliner to draw a sleek line from the inner to the outer corner of your eye, extending slightly upward at the end for that characteristic feline flick. Remember to keep the line thin near the inner corner and gradually thicken it towards the outer. If you prefer a subtler effect, opt for a gel liner and a small angled brush. With practice, your cat eye will become second nature, flawlessly complementing your bold red lips!
