Try This Look: Red Lips

One of the hottest trends for this fall is the timeless and sexy red lip. Fortunately, red lipstick is also one of the most attainable fashion trends and is easy to incorporate into your look.

Red lips have been spotted everywhere lately from the runway to red carpet. Transform your look from neutral to vivacious with the swipe of your favorite shade. Here are a few of ours:

Maybelline ($7.50) in Very Cherry
CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick ($5.50) in Really Red 575
Lorac Breakthrough Performance Lipstick SPF 15 ($22) in Leading Lady
Dolce & Gabbana Classic Creme Lipstick ($30) in Iconic
Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Creme Lipstick ($28.50) in Fire

To pull of this look remember to be light handed with the rest of your make-up. Be sparing with blush and eye shadow to avoid looking overdone. Pair red lipstick with black mascara for Old-Hollywood glamour.

An interesting thought on fashion and economic relevance- it has been theorized that lipstick sales rise during times of economic hardships. Why? Lipstick is an inexpensive way to improve one’s look.
