Lips Like Scarlett Johansson
The best way to wear this season's super polished red lip? With a dreamy peaches and cream complexion a la Miss Scarlett Johansson, of course. Catch Scarlett in The Black Dahlia and you'll know exactly where we're going with pouts this winter. It's all about creating that flawless skin and a beyond perfect lip in a deeply rich 1940s classic red. To put you right up there in the spotlight, we've got the ultimate red, PHOTO FINISH LIPSTICK in RAVASHING. “This is red lipstick in its truest form,” declares smashbox makeup artist Lori Taylor . “Anybody can wear it. There are no orangey undertones, no blue overtones. It really is that perfect 1940s deep red.”

- Create your perfect peaches and cream canvas by starting with PHOTO FINISH FOUNDATION PRIMER. Next, take BRUSH #13 and starting at the center of the face and blending outward, apply a creamy powder foundation such as CONVERSION CREAM TO POWDER FOUNDATION. Finally, to get Scarlett's angelic glow, use BRUSH #13 to sweep a highlighter like ARTIFICIAL LIGHT in DIFFUSE along cheekbones, bridge of nose and temples.

- “To create perfectly polished lips you need to start with the lip primer from LIP & LID PRIMER. “A lip primer is an absolute must when wearing red,” says Lori. “It gives you a matte finish, stops color from bleeding and gives your lipstick something to really grab onto so it lasts longer.”

- Take LIP PENCIL in STRIKE and, with the side of the pencil, fill the entire lip line. Next, draw a hardier, deeper line right in the center of the bottom lip. Complete with PHOTO FINISH LIPSTICK in RAVASHING.
