HOW TO WEAR RED LIPSTICK: 3 easy application techniques

* Dab it: for flushed, just-bitten lips, dab some color onto the center of your mouth with your finger.

* Gloss it: red looks wonderful glossy (reminds me of candy apples!). To achieve the look, work color into lips with a brush, blot, then work it in again. Apply clear gloss on top.

* Classic: create an outline with any red pencil (it doesn’t have to be a perfect match) and swipe directly from the stick. Blot, reapply. Perfect the shape with a brush or the same red pencil. Voila!

Who are your favorite red-lipped beauties? Mine are Dita von Teese, Poppy King, any girls from Ellen von Unwerth photoshoots and, of course, Lolita!
