How To Wear Red Lipstick This Festive Season

We love to wear a red lipstick all year round but even more so at Christmas for a festive vibe!

Red lipstick can make your teeth look whiter and brighter and help you look like you have had 8 hours sleep even when you haven’t!

But we know that wearing a red lip can be nerve wrecking, especially if it’s a colour that you might not normally wear. That’s why at Strala Beauty HQ, we have shared our tops tips on wearing red lipstick this season!

Can you wear blush with a red lipstick? Absolutely! It will just depend on the colour and the intensity that you choose. We would suggest popping on your lipstick first and then you can build up to the blush intensity that you feel most comfortable with.

We love NOTE’s Luminous Silk Compact Blusher for the perfect flush of blush!

When wearing a red lip, it’s important to line your lips to keep your lipstick in place and to stop any smudging or feathering. While it’s OK to overline your lips in more natural colours, we would recommend lining your natural lip line when it comes to red.

ARTDECO’s Invisible Lip Contour Pencil forms an invisible barrier against the smudging of lipstick and lip gloss. Selected waxes in combination with the active ingredient Maxi Lip have a smoothing and nourishing effect.

With red lipstick, it’s important to keep the rest of your look quite simple so all the attention is on the lips! A dramatic smoky eye can take away from your festive look so why not keep it simple with a classic cat eye flick?

With ARTDECO’s High Precision Liquid Liner, you can create the perfect liner quickly and easily. It contains carbon black pigments for an intensive, deep-black eye liner.

The perfect way to finish off your festive look!
