The final step is lip gloss. You don’t have to use a lip gloss, but I think it finishes off the great red lip look, plus you can find some really great long-lasting lip glosses now that can help your lipstick stay in place for hours. One of my favorite red long-lasting lip glosses is L'Oreal Infallible in Rebel Red. Simple apply a single coat of gloss to the top and bottom lip and then gently press together. The great thing about this lip gloss is that you can toss it in your bag for a quick red lip touch-up later.
