Of course there are plenty of fun tutorials and lots of how-to's on the perfect red lips for the Holiday Season, but I thought I would share with you my perfect combo. I think it's a great shade for light to medium toned skin with a sprinkle of freckles and maybe red hair... :)

A combination of these 3 products work well for a shade that not too deep and more of a natural flushed tone. Revlon color is Really Red, Clinique gloss is Apricot and Origins lip pencil is Rosewood. |
SIMPLE STEPS:

A little light exfoliation gives you the perfect canvas - I just used a bit of my St. Ives Apricot scrub and very gently worked in a circular motion to remove any dried or peeling skin. |

Next add a thin layer of a rich lip balm to condition after the exfoliation. |

Use a lip pencil that is close to and even a bit rosier than your natural lip color. Line your lips to give some extra shape and then fill in to give a nice, matte base. |

Rather than applying the lip color directly from the tube, it is better to use a lip brush and "paint" on the color to give you a bit more control on how deep you want the shade to be and it's also easier to give more definition to the shape of your pout. |

Lastly, dab on your gloss for a glistening finishing touch! |
