How Redheads Can Rock a Bold Lip

We often see a bold lip look paired with a bold eye look and a full face of makeup. This is an iconic look that we know works, but sometimes it’s not the look you want. Rocking a bold lip shouldn’t mean you have to go full glam. Bold lipstick can help to accentuate the lips and mouth and make you feel confident and strong. Let’s look at ways redheads can rock a bold lip with minimal makeup:

1. Prep the lips and keep things sharp

The most important part of rocking any bold lipstick is how to apply it. This is especially important when you won’t be wearing much other makeup. Before using your lipstick, ensure your lips are well-exfoliated and hydrated. It’s also important to apply it neatly and clean up the edges for a polished look.

To prep your lips for a bold lipstick, gently exfoliate to remove any dry skin—this can be done with a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush. Follow up with a hydrating lip balm to keep your lips moisturized. Once absorbed, apply a lip primer to create a smooth base and enhance the lipstick’s staying power. Finally, outline your lips with a matching lip liner to define the shape and prevent feathering, ensuring a flawless finish when you apply your bold lipstick.

2. Define the eyes

Instead of a complete glam eye look, define your eyes in a very natural-looking way. Redhead mascara is the perfect way to add definition and length to light eyelashes. The H2BAR Finally Have Lashes Enhancing and Hourglass collection comes in four ‘Redhead-Friendly’ shades that complement any look. This will help your lashes look natural and keep your eyes from getting lost in a minimal makeup look.

3. Groom the brows

Brushing up your brows and adding a little clear or tinted brow gel will help frame the face. Your brows will still look natural but defined and won’t draw any attention away from your bold lipstick, which should be the show’s star.

Redheads can enhance their natural beauty by choosing brow colors that complement their unique hair tones. When grooming, consider using a soft pencil or powder to fill in sparse areas, keeping the finish light and airy. Use a clear or tinted brow gel from the Finally Have Brows collection to set the shape while adding a touch of color. Finally, embrace a natural arch that follows your brow bone to maintain a harmonious look with your features. Regular maintenance will keep them looking fresh and polished!

4. Go for the glow

Instead of going all out with heavy makeup, stick to the basics and add some glow to brighten the face. Dab on concealer for problem areas or a light coverage foundation. Add minimal blush in a natural color and just the slightest pop of highlighter. The glowy look will pair nicely with the bold lipstick!
