The Red Spread - Day 12

It was sunny today so that can only mean Spring starts tomorrow (let me dream!) . One of my favorite things about lip stains is the intense color. That being said, you have to be deliberate with your application. For mistakes I like to keep a q-tip handy and use makeup remover or coconut oil (if you're not up on the 101 uses for coconut oil get on it) to clean up. I'm convinced one side of my lips is crooked or something because my first applications always look a bit imbalanced but I'm also a stickler for details, so it could just be my OCD.  I also make sure to leave a bit of time between my lip balm or primer before my lipstick/lip stain to make sure it doesn't slide off, and the result is this:

It was sunny out so I was lightweight feeling myself but it's still cold.  Today I have on Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo by NYX Cosmetics.  I also lined my lips with SEPHORA Collection Lip Liner in Pleasant Plum (it's been discontinued I think)  I'm getting so good at picking up the deals y'all!
As always I'm looking for your favorite red lip stain and lip gloss looks for the final week of the Red Spread,  Send me your best looks at blackgurlzboldlips@gmail.com!
