I’m currently loving super bright red lips. They look so fresh paired with well-moisturized, luminous skin; minimal makeup, and shiny, healthy undone (French girl) hair. This is the perfect look for holiday parties because it’s so effortless, yet so cool. For super shiny hair, do a protein treatment the day-of. Make sure your skin is well hydrated, and for makeup, cover any red marks and imperfections with a touch of concealer. Skip heavy foundation and powder. Instead use a liquid highlighter on brow bones and cheekbones. Curl lashes and apply a coat of glossy black mascara. (Skip heavy eye makeup since the focus will be on your mouth.) For lips, gently exfoliate with a mild scrub and lightly moisturize. Go over the entire lip area with concealer to neutralize and buff out to blend. Forgo lip pencil and apply lipstick with a finely pointed lip brush, outlining and then filling in. Blot and then re-apply to desired intensity. Don’t rub lips together! It will cause the lipstick to wear away from the center. In your clutch, stash a pocket mirror, lip brush, and lipstick for touch-ups.

They have an amazing sturdy 24K gold metal curler similiar to the Shu Uemura and Sheisdo one that comes with its own pink small heater base that heats just the pad in the curler, this way my curl lasts till the next day.
