Scarlet Red

Wondering if your red lip goes with the rest of your look? Wearing the vampy look that Marilyn Monroe religiously sported is not an easy task to do. Some girls try the hot trend and tremendously fail to pull it off. This is a simple yet chic way to model the provocative style without looking like a Friday night call girl, or just a hot mess. Erica, my roommate and the girl in the photo below has mastered the look with her effortless yet sexy fashion. Her secret to perfecting a lustrous red appearance is Sephora Lip Stain #3. Wearing black and white colors, a ponytail, minimal accessories and, school teacher glasses, she has given the school boy fantasy a new twist with her stylish swag and sultry red lips.

"Minimal eye makeup is the key. You can't wear a lot of eye makeup and have red lips." -Erica Rosen
