If there is one color that makes a powerful statement day or night it is the bold, intriguing and radiant color RED.

Many women shy away from this ancient color of mystique as it can be quite intimidating especially, if you lack the finesse and understanding of how to handle its powerful presence.

One the most important keys to remember when selecting the perfect red is being open to the infinite possibilities.  Allow yourself the freedom to experiment and explore a whole new world of reds from head to toe.

Red on the Lips:

Every woman possesses her own unique personality and style.  The red you select should clearly express the true essence of your femininity.  One way of connecting with your ideal hue is by visiting a beauty counter with a bare face and experiment with several blends.  The one that you could wear without an ounce of face paint elsewhere is a sure winner.  What matters most is being comfortable with your choice.

Lip Tip:

To increase the staying power of your lipstick, apply a thin layer of foundation or power as a base before applying your lip color.  Outline your lip with pencil to prevent color from feathering and fill in empty space with red lipstick.  If you desire for the lip to remain matte refrain from adding a gloss as your finishing touch.

Red on the Hips:

When determining the right pieces of red  for your wardrobe think about the fashion statement you desire to make and the occasion in which you are dressing for.  The color red  is an emotionally stimulating color.  It represents passion and vitality for life.

Hips Tip:

One of the common mistakes with red is wearing too much of it.  Ever heard the phrase, a little dab will do yah, just fine! Choose wisely and dress to the nine looking super fly on point , on purpose!

Red on the Fingertips:

Painting the nails red is not reserved for the holiday season only.  This classic color is timeless and beautiful year round.

Finger Tip:

For quick dry, try not to apply more than 2 coats unless you want to wait a lifetime for it to dry.  Placing more than 2 coats generally will cause the polish to peel. Another trick of the trade is to place freshly painted nails under cold water to speed up the hardening process.

Go ahead and start today by finding a red that will turn heads your way!  As you seek to create a new look that’s all about you, dare to blaze a red so bright that it burns from sun up to midnight.
