BEAUTY BAR: Reddish So Stylish

It’s springtime and the red lip is a major trend going around the global fashion industry. The bold trend endorsed by Burberry, Topshop Unique, Carolina Herrera and Zac Posen is causing sensation this season due to its high impact and distinctiveness. Red lips have been ruling through generations, all the way from Cleopatra who once found herself, along with Egyptian women, preparing a highly toxic concoction of chemicals to create a simple red lipstick, to today’s modern and wide choice versions between a sleek or matte lipstick. Today’s red lips are enriched by those of yesterday. This spring, the red lipstick is back as a minimal and dual trend: you can kill it with a shiny lustrous red color or with a lightly matte applied one.

If you’re wearing full black like this Fashionista, which consists of a black and white print-pattern jumpsuit and edgy black heels, then what a better way to accessorize and enlighten this look than with a gleaming and satiny red lipstick? You might be panicking when getting ready for a night out for picking a head-to-toe black outfit (because black accentuates the essential) and not knowing how to intensify it. The red lip enhancing trick will never fail you. By simply choosing a red lipstick, this Fashionista makes a strong fashion statement composed of the timeless woman and her allure, not to mention it makes a powerful and legendary contrast with black and creates depth among other colors, as red is the color of passion and courage.

Be fearless and experiment the red lip trend this spring/summer. It will make you stylish and assured. Just remember what the wise Coco Chanel once said, “If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack.”

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: In order to achieve the Fashionista’s look, find yourself a vivid and classic red lipstick, such as MAC’s Ruby Woo or, if you’re up for a rather gloomy look, MAC’s Viva Glam I will work for you just fine. Keep your skin radiant and in perfect conditions with this Pro Longwear Powder and accentuate your lashes with Falsies Washable Mascara.
