Every year I look at doing Valentine’s day looks and a red lip is an obvious choice that comes to mind. This year, I’ve decided to ditch the red for smokey, multi-dimensional pinks.
This is one of my favourite looks that I’ve done recently. It’s soft, yet glamorous and it plays up the eyes, much sexier in my opinion than a bold lip as we communicate so much with our eyes! Hope you enjoy the tutorial ♥️
This beauty of a lipstick is described as a “bold red wine” purple shade. This lipstick can be worn dark or much lighter. You can see in the first photo wearing this it almost appears a bit red and in the second shown it looks much more purple. The shade varies on how you apply it and the lighting. The color looks chocolate brown in the tube but when applied it looks much more like a deep purple and sometimes a deep red purple. It harkens the 1920’s era.
I cannot get enough of this color. It actually makes me FEEL fierce when I wear it and we could all go for feeling a little more fierce in our day to day lives, right?!
This lipstick is a Satin finish and is – Gluten Free, Paraben Free, Nut/Tree Nut Free, Fragrance Free, Soy Free, and Toxin Free
You can purchase Fierce here for $23.50 and keep a look out for more looks using Red Apple Lipstick products. I am incredibly impressed with their lip and eye products!

“Red and green should never be seen except upon a gypsy queen”
As a conformist, a rule follower, I never got a detention at school and never pushed into a queue I am not your obvious rule breaker.
However…
Makeup is a different game, I have never felt bound by the ridiculous and frankly bizarre rules that are self-imposed by the masses within the art of makeup. The fact that you can take it all off and start again makes the idea of not breaking a few rules even more ridiculous.
So, red lipstick in my head works with everything, yes, even a very heavy smokey eye, go the full-on look. Red lipstick against a green outfit is screaming out to be worn, the contrast makes it even more pronounced, which is probably why it isn’t worn. The fear of red lipstick is real, very real and as a former makeup artist I spent my time hearing this from people. ‘I’d love to wear red lipstick, but, I daren’t’
The fear, it has been something that passed me by, I started wearing red and never stopped. I never felt the fear at all and relished wearing it with anything, the rule book thrown aside for this usually subdued shy gal.
Red lipstick is about as loud and showoff as you can get.
I love it and today safely snuggled in my green jumper, welcoming Autumn with a hot chocolate, a walk on the beach and the ‘finding’ of the hot water bottles I layered on a red lip. What is there to fear?
This red lip is courtesy of L’Oreal – bought eagerly by me when it’s pink tone sang out from the shelf. A whole world of red lip and red tones awaits the brave.
Unleash your gypsy queen, you’re worth it!
