How to Rock Dark Red Lips Like a Pro
🔴 Exfoliate First – A smooth base makes all the difference. Use a lip scrub or a damp washcloth to remove dry skin before applying your lipstick.
💋 Use a Lip Liner – Outline and fill in your lips with a matching liner, like COVERGIRL’s Exhibitionist Lip Liner or Outlast Lipstain, to prevent feathering and create a fuller look.
✨ Layer for Longevity – Apply your dark red lipstick, blot with a tissue, then add another layer for extended wear.
💦 Hydrate & Maintain – Keep lips soft by applying a balm, like Clean Fresh Tinted Lip Balm, when not using long wear lipsticks.
