Ruby red Lip tutorial

Finding that perfect ruby red lip that feels both striking and effortlessly chic, almost like a 'ruby red nude,' can be a game-changer! So many of you have asked about my lip color, saying "Your lip color is so pretty," and even suggesting, "you should film it babe." It’s true, achieving that balance between a vibrant ruby and a natural, 'nude-friendly' feel is all about technique and choosing the right products. First, let's talk about choosing your shade. A true ruby red is stunning, but for that 'nude' appeal, consider shades with slight brown or berry undertones. These aren't quite brick red, but they soften the intensity of a pure red, making it more harmonious with your natural lip color and skin tone. Ruby Kisses Cosmetics, for instance, offers vivid bold lips, and you can often find shades within their range that lean towards this more muted, sophisticated red. Look for shades that offer depth rather than just brightness. Once you have your shade, application is key. To make a bold ruby red feel more like a 'nude-red,' don't apply it straight from the bullet with crisp, defined edges every time. For a softer look, try dabbing the lipstick onto your lips with your finger, concentrating the color in the center and lightly blurring it outwards. This creates a beautiful, diffused stain effect that’s less stark and more natural, yet still gives you that gorgeous ruby hue. You can then add a touch of clear or nude-toned lip gloss, like the one from Ruby Kisses Cosmetics, just to the center of your lips for a plump, healthy look without adding too much boldness. Another trick is to pair your ruby red lip with a minimalist or 'nude' makeup look everywhere else. If your eyes are kept simple with just mascara and a touch of neutral shadow, and your skin is fresh and dewy, your ruby red lip will stand out beautifully without overwhelming your face. It becomes the focal point in a sophisticated, rather than overpowering, way. This balance is what makes a strong lip color feel so wearable and elegant, giving you that 'pretty lip color' everyone raves about. Experiment with these tips, and you’ll discover how to make any ruby red feel like your perfect 'ruby red nude' statement.
