Vamp Lips Pt. 4 : Deep Red

The final part of the vamp lip series is deep red. Deep red looks good on any skin tone, it’s all about finding the right shade. A tip for long wear – use lip liner to fill in the entire lip and then apply the lipstick. This will help the lipstick last longer since there are a few layers. Remember ladies it doesn’t hurt to do a teeth check after applying. Here are our top picks to achieve a deep red vamp look…
