I recently sat down with Vancouver Makeup Artist Kahlia Adams to find out how
to wear one of this season’s hottest beauty trends: the oxblood lip.

{HOW-TO APPLY OXBLOOD LIPSTICK}
1. Make sure to prep your lips by exfoliating before hand.
You can do this by using a scrub or by gently using a toothbrush.

4. If you’re confident, skip the lip liner, but if you
need a guideline outline your lips with a burgundy pencil.

5. Start in the centre of the lip and fill lip colour in to the outer corners.
6. To ensure the colour lasts, apply a small amount of invisible powder
with a flat brush until the lip looks totally matte. This look is suitable
for day or night.

7. For a little evening glam, apply a clear gloss to the middle of the lower lip.
{Tips From the Pro}
Avoid getting lipstick all over your teeth, Miss Geist styles, with this little trick:
After the lip colour is applied, close your lips around your
index finger and pull it out. This will remove any excess lipstick
and (hopefully) prevent any embarrassing situations.

I'm dropping everything to go buy lipstick. In related news, you're a babe.

Gah that colour looks AMAZING on you! I wish I could pull that off!!!!
I just love a dark red lip!!! I never thought it would be possible to wear this because I'm so fair but it some how works! (I hope…) You look stunning in this color. Would it be weird if I told you that you have great lips? Cause, YA DO!
You'll have to keep this look in your beauty arsenal because the colour looks amazing on you!
too pretty for words.
LOVE IT! Do you know how to sharpen the nyx lip pencil? I just purchased it.
Sorry for the delayed response! SO glad you bought it, it's such an awesome lip shade. To sharpen it, just use a make-up pencil sharpener that has both a large and small sized pencil option. They can be purchased at any drug store 🙂 Hope that helps!
This colour is amazing on you! I went out and tried the Nars colour the other day and it was more pinky than red so I had the chance to go out to LD today and test out the NYX colour and it was great. Thanks for sharing! I was wondering if you could share some posts/tips on what you would wear with the lipstick? Like clothes/colours/outfits.
