Red lips are elegant, glamorous, and never go out of style. The trick to wearing red lipstick flawlessly is prepping your lips with more precision than is needed with other less vibrant lip colors.

There are many shades of red as well, so if you don't feel comfortable trying out a bright fire engine red, there are more muted/berry reds that you can try with this step-by-step technique!
