Red lipstick has never been easy to pull off...or so most of us would think. I say be inspired and go out in search of that perfect shade of red that compliments you. You may be pleasantly surprised at how a simple, bold red lip can be the only accessory you need (while keeping everything else simple, of course).

Red lips were spotted not only on the Fall 2012 runways but also back during the Spring-Summer shows. As most of us are still experiencing summer (except myself its summer all year as we don't have four seasons where I live), the Fall shows tell us what to expect of future trends so it makes sense to look back at Spring-Summer trends so we may work the Summer trends now. Still, red lips all the way:

I've never owned a real Red lipstick before but I think I'm ready to experiment with that colour because anyone call pull off a red so long as that red matches them. Don't get me wrong, there are far too many reds out there with different under tones and pigments so finding your HG red will take some effort if you're new to red lippies.
Moving on to liners...
There are many ways to achieve that perfectly lined eye. My personal favourite is to line my top lid with a dark kohl and finish with a thick wing on the outer corner. I usually use black eyeshadow as a base liner and then finish with a precise line and winged corner using a felt-tip liner.

Below: Liners in colours other than black would be an easy way to add vibrance to your look. But I prefer black- that's just me!

I do remember buying a Chanel eyeshadow called Tigerlily last year and that orange worked well in lining my lower lashes. Lighter colours are definitely easier to pull off if you're going for a dramatic liner on both the top lid and the bottom lash line.
What are your beauty inspirations from the Spring and Fall trends this year? :)
