Red lipstick is back! Word of Jennifer Lopez

An image that shocked the fans (at the moment the likes are 1,145,496), which the last time she published a make-up with a flaming smile on her page dates back to November 20, 2020! (see below).

Impactful, clear, joyful. Able to erase fatigue in an instant due to its ability to radiate light to the face. Characteristic difficult to imitate by other colors. Red lipstick is not just a beauty product. Nor is it a shade suitable only for those who want to be sexy. Strengthens self-esteem, enhances the mood. In short, a promise of beauty, positivity and energy. «A catalyst color that says look at me. To be worn with ease, and to be avoided only if you are very shy », says make-up artist Rajan Tolomei and Max Factor Ambassador. Here are his 3 tips to exploit its full potential.

It is for everyone

“The size of the lips is not a problem. The important thing to do is to create balance, ”says Tolomei. To have volume and harmony, the cunning is the same as always: “redraw the outline with the specific pencil just beyond the lip mucosa, carefully avoiding leaving white spaces”, says the expert.

Which shade

The new rouge are offered in a thousand variations and shades that adapt perfectly to any type of complexion. So much so that experts consider the red of the lipstick a neutral color. «Broadly speaking those tending to orange give those with diaphanous skin, while cherry, raspberry and fuchsia are good with darker skin. Burgundy reds make every woman chic ”, explains Tolomei. But the most important thing is the teeth: «Orange shades should be avoided if they tend to yellow, while cherries, raspberries and fuchsia lighten any teeth», explains Tolomei.

Satin & matte

It depends on what you want to achieve. “The mat (opaque) shades give a sophisticated and elegant look, while the satin colors are a passepartout for all. The glossed lipsticks deserve a separate discussion: in the orange and fuchsia shades they give a frivolous, innocent and mischievous look; the burgundy variants, on the other hand, make the woman provocative », concludes the expert.
