When I first started my manicure journey, I didn’t know what to expect.
I knew the goal was to make a red manicure look more feminine, and that’s what I was going for, but I was also a little nervous about what it would look like and how I would be able to wear it.
I figured I would make it look as if I had the full package of reds.
I wore my reds with a matching shirt and skirt and a red belt with matching shoes.
I did this so that I could show my girlfriend how I dressed in a red and that she could look at me and see I was not afraid of wearing red.
I have since discovered red lipstick is a great color for makeup, and I always use it in conjunction with red lipstick to achieve a vibrant red effect.
The Red Couture is a red themed manicure set for a red-themed party.
It’s also great for a holiday party because you can use it as a mini-manicurist and have a lot of fun.
1.
Makeup and Accessories I picked up a set of lipstick brushes for my red lipstick manicure and went to a local makeup store to purchase a lipstick palette.
I found these lipsticks in Urban Outfitters and used them to shade the red of the nails, the top of my pinky, and the side of my lips.
I chose the red shade, which I thought would look prettier on my nails and cheekbones.
2. Showering My shower was a huge part of my manicures because it was a big part of how I wanted to dress.
I didn, however, go shopping for any make-up, because I wanted a simple look.
I used a red lipstick, a yellow lipstick, and an orange lipstick.
I put these on as I prepared for the party and then I used them on my face as I washed my hair.
3.
Red Lips This was the most challenging part of making the Red Couturier.
I made sure I did a full red lip because it really looked beautiful on my lips and cheeks.
I started by making my red lips a little more pink.
4.
Red Makeup When I started, I wanted my red nails to look like they were a shade of pink.
I also wanted to go with a red shirt and a blue tie because red shirts are so popular and they are easy to wear with a dress.
5.
Pink Lips I tried to go for a pink lipstick because it looked great on my cheeks.
6.
Lips in a Pout I tried to make my lips in a pout.
7.
Lipsticks in a Pinker Tone I really wanted my lips to be pink, but they didn’t seem like they would be very attractive.
I think my red lip shade was a little too pink for me, so I chose to go in a lighter pink.
8.
Red Eyebrows I did a lot to go to the red eye makeup to make them a little darker.
9.
Red Lipstick I used red lipstick because I love reds, and it looked really fun on my red nail.
10. Red Dress This manicure was a bit of a challenge because I was trying to do everything in a pink and pinker tone.
I bought a dress that had pink lipstick and a pink tie because I am a pink-loving girl and I love to dress in pink.
But I ended up with a pink shirt and tie and red lipstick on my neck, and also my neckline and my dress.
