Did you notice Maine Mendoza’s aka “Yaya Dub” bright red lips? It is really bright and so classic right? In fact that is her signature lip color. I’ve made a previous post here about getting the perfect red lips and now Im reposting it again. Yaya Dub’s Red lips give volume of her full lips.  She is definitely one most stylish celebrity right now and one of its loveliest faces and not to mention very charming. She has this winning smile and perfect set of teeth which compliments her red lips.  Here are the 5 “BEST” Red Lipsticks that i can recommend:

NARS Sheer in Manhunt
NARS Sheer in Manhunt

1. NARS Sheer in Manhunt What I like best about NARS Manhunt is the color. The consistency is creamy and just sheer enough that it allows you plenty of control over the depth of color and the shade is warm and bright and flattering on every skin tone. Another terrific quality is it layers well, over itselt or with a gloss. If I want a subtle look, I use only 1 layer; to be more glamorous, say, for nighttime wear, apply a 3rd or 4th layer and then a glitter. It’s really outstanding. MAC Lipstick in Russian Red

2. MAC Lipstick in Russian Red Color plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous.  it’s the epitome of Old Hollywood glamour .  But if you’re looking for an in-your-face, accessory-in-and-of-itself red this is the best. The color is very divine and long wearing.

Another one which is MAC Ruby Woo. This is one of the MAC’s best selling lipsticks. In fact, this is the one Maine Mendoza is using  The Texture is Perfect Matte which is better than any other matte lipsticks.  Wet and Wild Lipstick 091 3. Wet and Wild Silk Finish Lipstick 091 Wet N Wild lipstick is some of the most inexpensive lipstick you can find. I love the price, so I am often looking through their shades of lipstick trying to find one that will look natural and pretty. Finding a beautiful color for such a low price would be like hitting a jackpot! Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick,is an amazing buy. You can have beautiful colored lips and still have money in your pocket at the same time. I recommend this stuff to anyone. For the price,you can afford to reapply it as needed. This is a nice lipstick to use everyday. Try it out for yourself. This is a really nice lipstick choice. Avon Simply Pretty ColorBliss in SCARLET 4. Avon Simply Pretty ColorBliss Lipstick So much something at an affordable price. this has a very creamy consistency, great color and glides on your lips well. a good alternative if you’re on a tight budget.

5. Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Scarlet I actually like the packaging. Sleek and decent. They’re inexpensive but they don’t look cheap. I especially like the shade thingy on the top. I can easily see the shades without having to open the tubes. Very convenient.  This beautiful, beautiful coral red called Scarlet at the display shelf is a great choice!  Scarlet looks like MAC’s  red but for a fraction of the cost.

Make sure you know how to apply red lipstick. Here are some hot lip tips:

• Apply a lip moisturizer and then a thin layer of foundation.

• After the foundation dries, add a layer of face powder which will help set the lipstick so it will last longer.

• Next, line the lips with a pencil that matches your lipstick. Keep within the natural line of your lip.

• Apply a thin, even coat of the lipstick.

• Blot. Always remember to blot.

• Apply a second coat and you’re ready to go.

AllAboutBeauty: MAC Matte Bronzing Powder – Great for enhancing skin tone and contouring

MAC Matte Bronzing Powder
MAC Matte Bronzing Powder

 

MAC Matte Bronzing Powder  is one of the most popular choices when it comes to MAC Cosmetics. These powders have the power to turn back time and transport you to a golden beach. i always use bronzers for  contouring the cheeks, forehead, jaw line and the nose. i just love the end result of this bronzing powder in the face because it will make you more fierce!

 

This compact gives you great glow without the usual metallic sheen. It’s good because there’s no sparkle and  not too orangey, so it’s great for contouring.  It’s perfect for enhancing your skin tone or can be used to accent and even strengthen the warm look from your tan. The powder is also a skin conditioner and is formulated for smooth, even application on all skin types every time you use it. The Matte Bronze is great if you have oily skin. i always use the matte bronzer and this is great for men too.

 

I consider this product as one of the best bronzers and really blends well. They go on quite lightly and I keep layering them on with my big brush. I absolutely love this product, it makes such a huge difference in my make up both for men and women. I have a fair skin, but when I tried wearing it on one side, you can tell very obviously that it is working, as one side of my jaw looks much sharper/slimmer than the other!

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation – One of the BEST Ever!

 

MAC Studio Fix Fluid
MAC Studio Fix Fluid

 

M.A.C’s Studio Fix Fluid with SPF 15 is all you need. Studio Fix Fluid is undoubtedly one of my Holy Grail foundations and one I keep returning to time and time again. This one of the BEST and i wear it almost everyday and use it on my clients too. It’s a foundation that gives you an even and a matte finish look. The fluid itself is lightweight despite providing great coverage and settles to give a very natural finish -almost too good to be true! It wears very well throughout the day, though sometimes flakes around my oily T-zone. The great thing about this because it contains UVA SPF 15 that is going to protect you from the harmful rays of the sun and this is also oil free so you don’t have to worry looking shinny at all.

 

This is Available in all MAC Counters in Rustans, Trinoma and Mall of Asia
MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC 35

 

MAC studio Fix Fluid is matte, has thicker coverage and VERY LONG WEARING! The shade selection in impressive and I find NC35 a perfect match for my skin and the yellow undertones also work well to counteract redness. All in all, a great product to provide flawless looking skin. The only downside that i see is the packaging. although it looks so classy and elegant, people who are not make u artist will find it a bit messy to dispense because it has no pump but i think in other countries they have a studio fix fluid with a pump.

 

TIP for MEN: Settle for NC 35 and Up because it will give you that  “manly” finish and dont forget to set it with a loose powder for a perfect flawless finish. your loose powder should be 1 or 2 shades lighter than your foundation.

 

Soon, i will feature the perfect way to get that perfect flawless finish skin 🙂
