It's a luxurious lipstick that's matte, but wont leave your lips dry because if its moisturizing benefits. Make sure to line your lips with a flesh tone lip liner close to your natural lip color to ensure that the red looks perfect on you. To make the red more vivid use a red lip liner closest to the red shade of the lipstick you choose.

To keep the focus on your red lips keep everything else minimal. Mascara and a light application of bronzer on a lightly powdered face is all you need. If you want to define your eyes use a thin stroke of liquid or gel eye liner in black.
