Rock a Red or Bright Lip by Kylie Eustace

Red is a powerful, positive colour that exudes strength, passion, courage, and energy.  The Red lip is back in trend, with stunning shades of Cherry, Raspberry, Tomato, and Strawberry taking the spotlight.

Who doesn’t love a bold red lip? Bright lips are also in this spring! If you’re hesitant about red, try a bright pink or orange toned shade to add a vibrant pop of colour to your look.
If you would like to try red but are a little shy go for a softer take on red, by applying the red lipstick as a lip stain—apply your lipstick, then gently dab it off with a tissue. Finish with a layer of gloss or balm for a touch of moisture and a subtle sheen. This will create a stunning hint of red to your lips.

To keep your look balanced, pair your bold red or bright lip with understated eye makeup. For a classy look, opt for subtle eyeshadow shades like pearl, peach, gold, bronze, or neutral tones on swept across your eyelids. A defined lash line can beautifully complement a red lip, while a softer smoky eye can add a touch of contrast without overpowering the look. Don’t forget a hint of blush—colour brightens up your face and adds warmth to your overall makeup look.

A red lip is undeniably bold and instantly elevates your style. For a luxurious, striking combination, try cherry red lips paired with golden-metallic eyeshadow—a particularly stunning choice that compliments all eye colours. Soft nude eyes or smoky bronze and rose gold shadows also complement red lips, offering a sophisticated, balanced appearance.

When it comes to foundation, aim for a flawless yet lightweight finish that lets your skin’s natural beauty shine through. Choose between a semi-matte look or a dewy luminous base with highlights on your cheekbones and other high points of the face such as the brow bone and cupid’s bow. Keep contouring (deeper shading) and bronzer subtle and well blended to ensure you don’t look like you have stripes on your face. A slight hint of peachy-pink blush on the cheeks will add a nice touch of warmth to your face.

Top Tips:

Always apply red lipstick with a lip brush for precision. Use a neutral or lip liner that matches your lipstick or a lip primer along the edges to prevent bleeding.
Mix a small amount of lip primer with your lipstick and outline your lips first. This ensures a clean edge and keeps your lipstick in place.
Apply your lip colour evenly, making sure to fill in the corners. Then, check your lip line for any imperfections and correct them with a small brush and concealer or foundation for a flawless finish.
