Every woman should own at least one red lipstick, but finding the perfect red can feel like trying to spot that one pair of Balenciaga leopard print stilettos from two seasons ago – impossible! 

 

Celebrity makeup artist Julie Hewett (clients include Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker and Liv Tyler to name a few) was inspired while working on the set of Pearl Harbor to create a line of classic red lipsticks that harken back to the days of Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo, but with a modern twist that every woman can wear.  She’s got reds for warm tones, cool tones, and even a red for those who can’t wear red!  Tested on stars and made for you, Julie has expanded her initial line of red lipsticks to now include a battalion full of multi tasking glamour props.

 

Why We Love It:  From the cool retro gold lipstick tubes to multitasking products like her Shimmies and Cheekies, these products are just plain amazing!  Texture, consistency, color and quality are a few words that barely scratch the surface of describing why we love Julie Hewett so much!  Plus, with product names such as Oona Noir, Sophia, and Harlow, it’s close to impossible not to let your inner Siren out.

 

Favorite Red:  Film Noir (sheer blackberry red) for cool skin tones and coco noir (brick red) for warmer skin tones and “I can’t wear red” types.

 

Current Obsession:  Cheekie in “Peachie”.  Why?  It’s a juicy versatile color great on blondes, brunettes and redheads.  Not pink, not orange, just Peachie!  Works best by applying in a patting motion up high on your cheekbone to the apple of your cheeks.  It can even be applied over your powder blush throughout the day to “freshen” up your look!

 

Beauty Tips from Julie: Q: How do you achieve the perfect red lip and how do you prevent it from smudging or rubbing off?   A: Apply lipstick with lipbrush and blot; then apply the coordinating lip pencil to correct and refine the shape of the lips.  Q: How can I bring my makeup from day to night in a few easy steps?   A: By intensifying the amount of shimmer on your eyes and lips, but still keeping the look fresh is a great summer night-time look.
