This cute makeup look is easy to do, and it’s perfect for daytime or night.
To create the perfect backdrop for a glossy red lip, begin with a dewy, bronzed complexion. For lived-in-looking eye makeup, apply a cloud of earthy color to the lid, smudge on some black eyeliner pencil, and ply your lashes with lots and lots of mascara. Leave your brows full, but natural, and brush them upward rather out.

just wondering…the lipstick you chose seemed to have a very orange undertone, which in turn made her teeth seem more yellow…wouldn’t a blue based red be more beneficial to her look, as well it gives an instant “whitening” to the teeth.
Hi SimpleBeauty, yes, blue-based reds do make the teeth look whiter and brighter. Feel free to customize this look to suit your own requirements.

I think the eye make up is beautiful, but the lipstick used isn’t so pretty it makes her teeth look yellow! A more natural lip colour would look much cuter and more flirty.
Thanks, Nat. Feel free to customize this look to suit your own requirements.

Just wondering which brush you used to blend the eyeliner? I have the angled brush already, but want to know what the other tiny brush is? Great application tips! Great look!
Hi, Helena. The brush I used to blend the eyeliner was Shu Uemura Natural Brush 6ob. Thanks for the positive feedback.

You have absolutely great application tips! I also agree with Nat and simplebeauty, the red lipstick isn’t good with her, her teeth look yellow indeed! It doesn’t flatter her at all. Beauty in Colors
Thanks, Lee. If you are wanting a whiter, brighter-looking smile, choose blue-based reds.
