Tu-Anh: Hey there, my name is Tu-Anh and I am going to show you how to wear red lipstick like French women do. Now, I am going to show you how to apply lip color and on Christina I have already chosen a warm base lip color, so we already have the lip liner. What we are going to do is now use a lip brush to apply the lip color. You want to make sure that you color in the whole lips, it is always better to apply lip color with a lip brush because it just comes on a lot more even and it's nicer and you can not mess it up because you can control the brush. What I want to do is just really color, you basically just go over and fill the whole lips in and because you already have the liner as a base color you do not have to worry about the lipstick coming off after you eat or drink. Just going over right here and I do not know if any of you know this but, if you want your teeth to look whiter you wear blue-red. The last thing I am going to do, I am going to just use it Q-tip and I am just going to go over and shape the lips a little bit better, in case there is any smearing or smudging and that is how you apply red lipstick like French women.

Applying red lipstick "like French women"
I find it hard to believe that anyone would need a three part video to show them how to put on lipstick. I think the best advice was on part one of the video where we were told "Make sure children and pets are supervised". Does this mean they need to be supervised while they put on their red lipstick like French women?

red lipstick, children and pets
Anyone can apply lipstick, but when wearing red lipstick, it's best to have the complexion prepped which i mentioned in the flawless video. The key thing is applying the lipliner as a base for lasting results. As far as pets and children goes, believe it or not, some children have tried to eat lipstick before. As far as pets, we mention that for precaution, but my cats in the past have sat on my make-up palette just to get attention. and having all the cat hair in your eye-shadow is not fun :)

I really enjoyed your 3 part video on red lipstick. One question, all red lipsticks appear "fake" on me. How do I pick a flattering shade of red? Thank You
