Guest Blogger: Luanne on Red Lips/Tips

I am a thirty-something mom with two teenage
girls. I have a wonderful
husband who supports me in everything I do. I love taking care of what God has
given me, as difficult as it can be some times! I hope I can encourage you to
do the same. I just started my blog iwantmk because in addition to my
passion for my family, I have a passion for beauty, fashion, and encouraging
women. I host a free skin care class at iwantmk.com.
You can register
at any time and I will send you free samples so you can watch my skin
care video and have your own personal class anytime you want!

One of the big color trends of 2008 is red! Red dresses, red
jackets, red handbags, red shoes, red jewelry, and red lips. If you
haven’t seen it out there, take a look around:

It doesn’t stop there:

Here’s what I want you to pay attention to… never have red from
head to toe. If you have a red accent such as a handbag or shoes, don’t
also have a red dress and a red jacket and red lipstick. Don’t get me
wrong, red lipstick is very in, but not when it matches your dress.

As
a general rule, if you have glamorous lips, tone down your eyes. If you
have dramatic eyes, tone down your lips. Let each make an appropriate
statement when set up to pop. This rule also works true with this new red trend.

Beautiful lips and nails…

Notice… no bright red lipstick. In most cases, the accessories are nude or black.

Red is the trendy color of the season, but if you’re going to wear it, make it pop!

Kay will donate 100% of its profits from the sale of each Apple Berry
lipstick to help change the lives of women and children around the
world!

  1. I love the red tips. It’s such a tricky color to wear–especially on the lips–without looking clownish! Great practical applications, thanks!
