You can help to increase the staying power of your lipstick by avoiding touching your lips or moving your mouth while it settles. Avoid rubbing your lips together to prevent your lipstick from moving around and try drinking with a straw to avoid transfer onto your glass. Matte formulas like AIRbrush Flawless Lip Blur and Matte Revolution lipstick are generally more longwearing than satin and glossy formulas – they’re perfect for red lipstick lovers that want to top up their red lipstick as little as possible.

Red lipsticks look best when paired with red or brown-toned lip liners. I like to pair red lipstick with a ruby-red lip liner like my NEW! Lip Cheat in Red Carpet Red to give lips a statement-making red outline ready to be filled in with red lipstick. Deep lip liners like Lip Cheat in Hollywood Honey or Berry Naughty are also fabulous pairings for red lipstick; darker lip liners are perfect for giving your pout a contoured effect, shading the outer line of your lips to create a three-dimensional lip shape for your red lipstick to rule over.

When applying red lipstick without lip liner, it’s important to pay close attention to the outer edge of your lips. Gliding on a red lipstick without lining your lips first can result in a messy and misshapen look, so I always recommend using a lip liner. If you don’t have a red lip liner to hand but still want to mesmerise with a red lip look, try using a lip brush to apply lipstick along your lip line to create the appearance of lip liner before swiping onto the rest of your lips. If you need to, you can sharpen up your look with concealer.
To get a just-bitten look with red lipstick that appears naturally tinted, blot red lipstick onto your lips then blend out the edges with your ring finger. Focus on tapping red lipstick into the centre of your lips, then gently patting it out to diffuse its pigment and create a blur effect. My AIRbrush Flawless Lip Blur liquid lipstick is perfect for creating this look; swipe on Ruby Blur or Flame Blur to give your lips a rush of red, then blend until you get a natural-looking, blurred red lipstick look.

Don't Skip the Prep Step
Ashley Rebecca / Byrdie
Prepping your skin for any makeup look is an important step that cannot be missed, and the same goes for your lips before applying red lipstick. But the prep for this is actually quite minimal and not as involved as you might think.
"I like to exfoliate the lips before red lipstick and pat [them] dry with a tissue or even add some loose powder," says Goldberg. "The important thing is not using any form of hydration" on the lips to ensure a smooth and lasting application and that the lipstick truly adheres to the skin without slipping.
After exfoliating the lips, Goldberg likes to "start from the inside out, applying a thin layer from the bullet or tube and pressing lips together to disperse the color," she explains. "From there, I feel it's a little easier to go in with a similar tone lip liner and build out your desired shape."
I followed Goldberg's advice and applied a thin layer of lipstick on the inner portion of my lips, gently pressing them together to help disperse the color. This is also a great way to ensure that when you're talking, there isn't a distinctive line between the red lipstick and the inside of your lip area.
