Beauty Tip Tuesday: The New Red for Summer on Your Lips Nothing screams sexy like a red lip. But not everyone knows how to sport this classic look since there are so many shades. Seeing the finished product is so much more logical to the immediate eye than actually creating the look. The perils of understanding how to best wear red can be enough to send any pro red-wearing consumer into hour-long frenzies ending in bleeding color and a bruised ego when it does not turn out as expected. What’s a girl to do when she wants to wear red this season? Often heralded as one of the founders of beauty, Marilyn Miglin has created a reputation on helping women live up to their full beauty potential for nearly three decades that I can recall.  In her many beauty solutions is one shade of red that sticks out above all others for the mainstream masses this spring and summer. Lipstick Vitamin C Café du Jour captures the sexy flash of red grounded in the richness of a nutty neutral tone. To make this even more appealing, the formula is created with the pure antioxidant protection of Vitamin C. Ladies, this is one red color that refuses to age your appearance!  Get your red lip look. To create your warm-weather red lip, start with a neutral tone lip lining pencil, and line the exterior of the lips. Take a warmer neutral toned lip lining pencil and line immediately inside the initial line. You should have two lines of neutral tone lining your lips. Apply Café du Jour directly onto lips or with a professional applicator brush.  This lip color formula is so rich and does not require any gloss application. It’s that simple!  Now that you have the keys to the red lip creation castle, taking lips to that fantasy look should be a breeze. There’s no bleeding with this red, and it is so affordable that buying just one is not an option. At long last, this frustration is over and the classic red lip is now yours! Vitamin C Café du Jour is the new red! Add this to your beauty arsenal by visiting www.marilynmiglin.com.  - Mary Winkenwerder
