Kerry Washington’s Bold Red Lip

Kerry Washington stunned on the red carpet with, well, her red-hot ensemble. If you’re aiming to make a bold statement, you’ve got to try this makeup look. Here’s how:

1. Start by applying a bronze eyeshadow to your eyelids, and blend it outward. Sweep a shimmery highlighter right below your brow bone to draw attention to your eyes.



2. Line your eyes with a dark brown pencil (if you’re going for a more dramatic look, you can use black liner instead). Smudge it into your upper and lower lash line for a smoky touch.



3. Next, line your lips with liner and fill them in with a bright red lipstick (try MAC Mattene Lipstick in Eden Rouge, $14.50). Once you’ve applied the first layer, place a tissue between your lips and blot. Apply a second layer of color, and dust your lips with translucent powder to set them.



4. Since the main focus will be on your eyes and lips, you’ll want to keep your face neutral. Just apply a tinted moisturizer to give your skin a glowing boost.
