AW17 make-up tutorial blood red lip
One of the most striking looks for autumn/winter 17 is the updated red lip – with darker and more vampy hues applied in a slightly dishevelled manner.
At Giambattista Valli’s Paris AW17 show, the standout feature was a stained cherry lip with soft edges, paired with a radiant base and power brows; while at Preen’s AW17 LFW event the look was snogged lips – with models wearing glossy tomato red hues that were bleeding past the lip line.
Anushka Patel, brand manager for mineral make-up brand Jane Iredale, which is distributed by the International Institute for Anti-Ageing (IIAA), shows us how to do a softer take on the blood red lip and take the look from day to night.
But, to recreate this trend in salon you need to tone it down and have confidence in doing a stained look.“Start bit by bit – don’t try to apply the lipstick all at once,” she says. “Also, always apply your lip liner first as this creates definition and guides you.”
