It’s the last day of the week and I’m sure you have events to attend and places to turn up at so I thought to hook you up with a mini-video tutorial on how to achieve the perfect burgundy-red lip to make you the star of the show every time. Depending on how you play the red lipstick card, you can wear it to wherever; be it work, soirees etc. I’m darkskinned, and the Matte Wine/Burgundy-Red lip is THE lip colour for me. To achieve the perfect lip, you should:   • Exfoilate your lips properly • If you have dark lips, make sure you apply a little amount of concealer on your lips to neutralize your lip colour (so it doesn’t interfere with your lip products) • Fully fill-in your lips, top-to-bottom with your desired lip liner; for the Burgundy lip, you should use a wine or brown lip liner. I used Jordana lipliner in Cabaret. •Blend out your lips properly with a lip-brush or a precision brush. I used Real Techniques’ Precision Brush. The importance of blending your lined lip out is to make sure there’s a smooth transition of colour and no lip-crack is left out. • Apply any desired red lipstick. I used Avon Cosmetics lipstick in Fiery Red. • Blend out again with lip-brush or precision brush • Clean out the edges of your lip with a Concealer or Foundation in your exact shade (DO NOT use a concealer lighter than your shade, least you end up with a halo around your lip…which is definitely NOT sexy) and set it in with loose powder. • For a longer stay, blot your lips with tissue paper (re-apply lipstick if need be) • Accentuate your Cupid’s Bow with a luminizer or highlighting or Mineral powder (be careful on this one….don’t apply too much…you don’t want to look ridiculous) • Apply final powder & setting spray and….go slay!

    I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Dimepiece Los Angeles celebrity streetwear brand? I am having trouble to proceed to the checkout on Dimepiecela site. I’ve read in Vogue that the brand was bought out by a UK-based hedge fund in excess of $50 million. I have just bought the Dimepiece Hotel Unisex Heavy Blend™ Crewneck Sweatshirt from Amazon and totally love it xox
