Get gold and red holiday lips in three easy steps!

Red lips are big for the holidays but what's even bigger?  Red and gold lips!  Yes, gold sparkles on red lips are super awesome.

So today I wanted to show you a quick FOTD using three products:

Too Faced Perfect Lips Lip Liner in Perfect Red

MAC Mattene in Eden Rouge

L'Oreal Infallible Le Gloss in The Muse's Shine

Ok, let's get started!  Start with bare, clean lips.

Next, line your lips with the lipliner.

Next, use the mattene to fill in your lips.

Finally, add that super awesome gloss on top.

Voila!  Now you have a super awesome lip look to wear to all your holiday parties.

The great thing is you can pair sparkly red lips with almost any eye look:  black smokey, black cat-eye, shimmery gold, or nude matte.  I used a beautiful gold on the lid and a darkened gold in the crease (Urban Decay Half Baked and Urban Decay Smog).

Of course, this is a really subdued eye look but I would amp is up for night-time gatherings.

This Perfect Red is gloriously classic!

Today I'm showing you an amazing product that Izzy from Musings of a Muse sent me as an extra when I won a giveaway.

I love the cute detailing!  Too Faced is always adorable.

"Perfect Red" is right!

I love that this is retractable and has a grip!

This is great for lining lips or you can fill in your whole lip.  You can rock it this way or you can layer lipstick on top.

The small tip makes lining a breeze but it does make it so that filling in your whole lips takes forever.

But the real magic happens when you add some gloss on top!

I used Sephora Tangerine Tango Glaze lipgloss.

I love this!  I'm going to be using this a LOT.  I used it to line my lips in this post.

You can grab this from Sephora HERE.  There are three additional shades.

Lining lips: yay or nay?

Lip liner - love it or hate it?  I feel like older generations tend to like lip liner more than us younger folk.  I think the problem is that matching lip liner to lipstick can be difficult.  If you're not careful, you end up looking like a chola.  *Just sayin'*

This lady gets it, riiiiight?

NSFW (naughty words)

The point I'm making is that I don't usually rock lip liner.  I even read in some fashion magazine (don't ask me which one) that you should never wear lip liner "no matter what the lady at the makeup counter says."  HA!

However, I think you can still find some great colors in lip liner and rock them all over your lips!  So, I present to you Wet n Wild Color Icon Liner Pencil in Berry Red 717.

I've said before that I don't usually rock a red lip.  I think it clashes with my orange-red hair.  However, I couldn't resist this little cutie for 99 cents!  

I actually picked it up to create a Canadian flag on my lips for an Olympics opening ceremony party; however, that proved waaaay too difficult!  

The color is intense and lovely but the formula is a bit drying.  I wouldn't saying that the staying power is very great...maybe about two hours.  This isn't my top pick, but if you rock red lips a lot you might find that it helps keep your lipstick in line!

You can buy it HERE or in almost any drugstore for 99 cents.  

Do you rock red lips?  Love liner?  Proudly rock a chola look?!

XOXO
