Spring and summer is usually that time when you calm down with smokey eyes and other heavy makeup looks and keep it simple with a pop of color on the lid or lip. My favorite way to add some some extra pizzaz to a look is to wear a bright lip color, keeping the rest of my makeup simple.

Now, if you want a lip color that will pop and last all day, there's a little more to it than just swiping on a lipstick. Check out the video below to learn how to create that perfect bold red lip, step by step.
