Red, White and Blue Lips: Luscious and Bold

Show off your American pride on your lips! Go as bold as the occasion allows for.

If the event is formal or in the evening, bold red lips will do the trick. If the wedding is very casual and laid back, combine red and white lines, paint a section of your blue lip and add silver glitter. Daytime summer and outdoor weddings are a great occasion to let your lips sparkle.

Great outfit for a 4th of July bohemian wedding. Part your hair down the middle, wrap an American flag scarf around your head, add a pair of 70s sunglasses and red lipstick for a simple carefree, boho chic feel.

You can also opt for a 4th of July makeup that focuses on your lips.

Take your makeup to the next level with some stars and stripes!

First prepare your lips with a white base – Paint your upper lip with glossy blue lipstick – grab a hold of a red lip liner and draw the red stripes. We bet this little trick is already sparkling more ideas. 😉

How do you get festive for the 4th of July?

1Paint your nails with the white nail polish

2Next, protect your fingers well – either with scotch tape as shown on the picture or with protective wax – there’s gonna be a LOT of splattering! The more surface you cover, the better off you will be.

3Suck some red nail polish through a straw and blow it all over your nails. Don’t suck too hard and make sure you cover the surface you will be working on.

4Repeat the process with the blue nail polish!

5Arm yourself with a Q-Tip and some nail polish remover and carefully clean up your fingers.

6Don’t they look amazing? You’ll be getting compliments left and right!

Feel free to do the same to your toes and give yourself a very patriotic pedi.

5. Now draw the stripes using the red nail polish
6. Finally make small dots over the blue area to represent the stars
