While makeup and beauty trends change like the weather, one staple style that will never not serve us well is a red lip, especially around the holidays. With an endless slew of holiday parties coming our way, many of us are thinking about how to spice up our makeup looks in a festive way. Nailing a red lip is never easy, but if there is anyone we trust to show us how, it’s Rihanna, who, fortunately for us, just revealed her two-step routine for the perfect holiday red lip.
Rihanna’s Red Lip Hack
This morning, Rihanna posted an Instagram carousel showcasing the two Fenty Beauty products she uses to create her ideal holiday red lip. The first step is to line the lips with the brand’s Trace’d Out Pencil Lip Liner ($20) in “The MVP” to define and shape. Then, she filled in the rest of her pout with the brand’s Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick ($29) in the same shade for a bright, full finish.
Both products boast ash-free, smudge-proof pigment that lasts up to eight hours, so you can rest assured that your Rihanna-approved red lip will make it through all your holiday parties, chewing, sipping and gabbing included.
