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.

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. 😉

4th of July Makeup Ideas and Tutorials: Splatter Nail Art

Let’s begin with some splatter paint nails!

You will need a white base, blue and red nail polish, scotch tape or protective wax and some straws.

1 Paint your nails with the white nail polish

2 Next, 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.

3 Suck 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.

4 Repeat the process with the blue nail polish!

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

6 Don’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.

4th of July Makeup Ideas and Tutorials: Hearts Nail Art

If you want something a bit more elaborate (and, oh so cute) here is another nail art independence day tutorial. It requires a bit more artistic ability but it’s definitely worth it.

You will need the same nail polish than for the previous tutorial but switch the straws for thin brushes.

1. Apply two coats of white nail polish and let them dry
2. Outline a heart with black nail polish and a very thin brush
3. If you need to fix some lines, grab a hold of the white nail polish and go back over the lines 😉
4. Clean the thin brush and dip it into the blue nail polish to fill one of the quarters of the heart
5. Now draw the stripes using the red nail polish
6. Finally make small dots over the blue area to represent the stars
7. Alternate nail polish colors for the rest of the fingernails between red and blue
8. Apply some glitter textured nail polish and voila!
