Kerry Washington’s bold lips prove that while the minimalist makeup trend has been in full swing over the past few years, sometimes a little colour can go a long way.
We’re sure that many people would agree that lipsticks are a staple in our makeup routine. And let’s face it, we’re always looking for the best lipsticks that will last all day. Recent beauty trends have seen the classic red lipstick pushed to the side and replaced by nude shades. Kerry Washington’s recent statement has inspired us to bring our red lipsticks out of retirement.
If you’re tired with the low-maintenance beauty trend of tinted moisturizers and neutral shades, here’s a way to recreate the bold lip that celebrities love.
Red lipstick is a timeless essential that will not be going anywhere anytime soon, despite beauty trends coming and going. This confidence-inspiring shade is available in a variety of shades, from fuchsia to peachy with orange undertones.
The actress shared a post on Instagram (on 20th May, 2024) to celebrate her co-stars birthday. Her red lace outfit was stunning, but it was the lipstick she chose that stole the show. The 1920s-esque lipstick paid homage to old Hollywood glamour and complemented her blushed skin as well as the outfit she chose. It also showed how a colourful lip colour can take you from day to night.
How can we achieve this look?
This look is easy to create at home, whether you love red lipstick or want to try a new colour. The first and most important step is to find the shade and product that work for you. Reds with orange undertones are best for those who have warmer undertones. Those with cooler undertones will benefit from a shade of red with blue undertones.
You should also invest in a lipliner to help you outline your lips. Then, choose a lipstick that suits your taste, whether it’s matte, satin, sheer, or glossy.
