Favorite Red Lip Tutorials

Maybe it's because Valentine's Day is right around the corner or maybe it's just because nothing adds that hint of fab when feeling flab, a dash of red instantly revives any look. Feeling washed out when tired? add a bold red lip to be dashing! Today's tutorials are some of my favorites when it comes to mastering that perfect long lasting lip and are very similar in a way and different in the tiny details, best is to try which one works best for you!

OUTFIT: Red Angora and Gold Brocade

Me and angora jumpers, soon my closet will need a separate angora section! The color red of this jumper is the most perfect bright red ever, it kind of needs a matching lipstick! and yes, I'm wearing the brocade trousers again, this time with my new Zara heels.

OUTFIT: It's Blue and Knitted

wearing: Esprit Cozy Blue Jumper, Black Jeans, Esprit Blouse, Esprit Satchel, Gestuz Shoes

Wearing the Esprit look that I styled during my visit at the Esprit flagship store in Amsterdam. The weather was grey and cold so perfect for a big knitted cozy sweater in a beautiful blue! I really wanted to wear something casual and comfortable with a very subtle sophisticated touch (the blouse) and used the color of the Satchel as finishing touch.



I couldn't help but leave the store wearing another Esprit look ;)
Wearing a Esprit woolen coat, green knitted jumper, bouclé skirt and Esprit leather Tote!

ps. Guess who was wearing something Red and Knitted? ;)

Really Red

I'm wearing; H&M red dress, Miista open toe heels

See, I do have some color in my wardrobe..
The H&M dress is a very in your face orange-y-red, one of the few shades of red that goes with fair complexions (but maybe that's just my opinion) The other day I noticed that Zara has some jersey shawls that are the same intense red, I was thinking of buying a few and then make something else out of them but its just an idea..
Of course I wouldn't be me if I didn't like to dress up red with pastel pinks, ha! Pastel habits die hard ;)
