Timeless Red: In Five Simple Steps

Red is more than a colour -  it’s a statement. A symbol of power, passion, and timeless style. And during the festive season, it becomes even more iconic - adding instant polish, warmth, and celebration to any look.

A red lip is the ultimate festive staple - dramatic yet timeless, bold yet elegant. It elevates even the simplest outfit and pairs beautifully with soft, glowy skin and minimal eye makeup. Just one swipe can take your look from everyday to occasion-ready.

Step 1: Perfect Your Base

Begin with your foundation of choice, for this look, we used our Skin Tint Serum Foundation – a lightweight, hydrating formula that evens skin tone while letting your natural skin shine through. Apply fingertips or our Buffing Brush for seamless blending, and building coverage where needed. A prepped base not only enhances your complexion but also ensures your red lip takes centre stage.

Optional tip: Use the Complexion Duo to add a bit of bronzer or highlight for added definition.

Step 2: Shape Your Brows

Using our Dual Brow, start by filling in sparse areas with the chiseled tip pencil, the design allows you to create delicate, hair-like strokes with the tip or using the flat edge for bolder definition, depending on your preference. Follow by setting and shaping your brows with the tinted gel.

This dual-action formula not only adds structure but also ensures your brows look naturally full all day. The Dual Brow is available in three shades, light, medium and dark – select a colour that is closest to your natural hair colour.

Step 3: Create Your Wing

Define your eyes with a classic winged liner – using our Liquid Liner Black, start at the inner corner of your eye and draw a thin line along the lash line, gradually thickening it as you move outward. To create the wing, follow the natural angle of your lower lash line and extend slightly past the outer corner, finishing with a sharp, clean tip.

Step 4: Volumise Your Lashes

Volumise, lengthen and lift your lashes with the Goddess Mascara Black. Start at the base of your lashes and wiggle
the wand upward to coat every lash from root to tip, building volume and length without clumping. Apply a second coat for extra drama or focus on outer lashes for a subtle lift.

The result is fluttery, defined lashes that open the eyes, enhance your overall look, and perfectly complement the bold elegance of your red lip.

Step 5: Create the Iconic Red Lip

Shape and sculpt your lips using our Lip Liner Red – define the shape and fill the lips with colour to create a long-lasting base. Apply your favourite red lipstick for additional colour or apply Lip Elixir over the liner for a frosted, glossy finish. Blot gently and reapply for intensity and longevity – this step locks in colour, defines the lips, and provides long-wear confidence for nights filled with champagne and conversation.
