Make sure that you have everything you will need including a lipstick, a matching lip liner, a tissue for blotting, and a red lip gloss if desired. Beginning with a clean palette is the key to getting the perfect red lipstick application. Make sure your lips are clean and free of lip balms, moisturizers, or any other products. You can ensure that your lips are clean by wiping them with a cotton ball dabbed with your favorite non-oily eye makeup remover or facial astringent.
