Hi, I'm Christine. I'm a makeup artist. And today, we're going to talk about how to choose a red lipstick for golden skin. Choosing red lipstick for golden skin is easy. All you need is a warm tone, because golden skin is warm. It's really neat, it comes in a little case like this. It's a two-step process, and you take the applicator, and you apply a thin layer to your lips as precisely as you can. Now that you've applied the lip color, you have to wait two minutes to let it dry before you apply the second moisturizing coat. So, now you can apply this, and it's just basically like Chap Stick. A lot of the long lasting lip colors can be drying, so this is a really great little invention where it keeps your lips moist, but it won't harm the color. And, I really like this kit, because it has a little built-in mirror. You can just check out your reflection right there. So, for about 10 dollars, you can have long lasting, bright red, amazing lip color for a party, or a night out on the town, for a date, something like that. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Christine, have a great day!
