3 sultry vampy makeup looks to try this winter
Here’s a list of three vampy looks you can create with dark red lipstick;
• Dark Red Lipstick with Classic Winged Eyeliner-
One can never go wrong with a timeless winged eyeliner and dark red lipstick combination. Equal parts sexy and sophisticated, this tried and tested makeup look is perfect for adding drama to your autumn and winter outfits. Use brown and gold eyeshadows for a toned-down version or go all out with a dark smoky eye. Pair it with your darkest blood-red lipstick to complete the look. Keep the rest of your makeup look simple and matte to ace this makeup look. Avoid using bright blushes like pinks and reds and instead, use subtle shades of peach and browns to define your facial contours. Add a champagne gold highlight on the high points of your face (top of your cheekbones, under the brows, bridge of your nose, and Cupid’s bow) to finish off. To create this winged eyeliner look with your favourite dark red lipstick, keep the following products with you;
I. Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick – Burgundy Blush
II. Maybelline Colossal Bold Liner
III. Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette
IV. Maybelline Fit Me Mono Blush – Nude Peach
V. Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter – Molten Gold
• Everyday Dark Red Lipstick Look With Nude Eyes
If you prefer more subtle makeup looks that you can wear to work or college every day, pair your deep red lipstick with barely-there nude eyeshadow shades and soft wispy lashes. Skip the vibrant and bright eyeshadow colours and apply shades like browns and soft nudes to define your eyes. Ditch the bold eyeliner and outline your eyes with a soft kajal instead. Smudge the kajal for an even softer, more diffused look. Apply a light pink blush on the apples of your cheeks to give your face a naturally flushed look. Use a strobing stick as a highlighter for a faux glow from within. Finish your makeup with a deep brownish-red lipstick shade for an elegant vampy look. To recreate this nude eye look with brownish-red lipstick, you need to have the following products in your arsenal;
I. Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick – Seeker
II. Maybelline The Colossal Kajal 24HR
III. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
IV. Maybelline The Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow
V. Maybelline Fit Me Mono Blush – Coral

Use shades of red and orange to create a dramatic fiery sunset eyeshadow look. Outline your eyes with dark black lines to add more drama to the look.
