Very Merry Cherry Red Lips

I hope you all had a wonderfully yummy and family filled Thanksgiving!! I know I did and will be fine if I don't eat anything "turkey-related" for another couple weeks.

So now that Thanksgiving is over, it's full force Christmas! And for me, that means many holiday soirees and get-togethers to attend, which equals many reasons to get a little more glammed up than usual!

The easiest way to make an impact with your face (makeup!) is to get a little SCARLET FEVER (aka, red lipstick)!! The obvious celeb that comes to mind that makes a huge impact with her red lips is my fav, Gwen Stefani. But I always mention her and red lips in the same sentence, so I wanted to shake things up. So another scarlet starlet who looks super hot in red lips, is actress Megan Fox (shown at top). There's no doubt, that her red lips are the show stopper part of her look here. I guess the good raven dark hair and perfect body don't hurt her look either;-)

Here are some JennySue picks for the perfect red lipstick to sport at your next party:

Fair. (keep it a slightly blue based red to give pale skin a boost)

1. MAC lipstick in Lady Danger or Russian Red ($14)

2. Lancome L'Absolu Rouge in Absolute Rouge ($29). This fabulous color is shown above.

Olive. (look for orange-y or goldish berry reds to complement your bronze undertones)

1. NP Set Lipstick in Madrid ($15)

2. Nars lipstick in Heat Wave ($25)

Dark. (you can carry off deep dark cherry reds that are bright enough to show up on your skin)

1. Too Faced Lip of Luxury in Drop Dead Red ($18)

2. N.Y.C. New York Color Ultra Moist Lip Wear in Retro Red ($1)

Remember trial and error is best with red lipstick- so have fun experimenting! And shoot- you don't even really need a party to work red lips, it's actually pretty fun to sport it to the grocery store. You might heat up the frozen food section.
