Each fashion season brand new weird and wonderful beauty trends hit the catwalk, but it is rare that any of these looks really stick. Classic, versatile beauty trends such as red lipstick and winged eyeliner have been fashionable for decades, and it doesn’t look like they will be outdated any time soon. Here are seven foolproof makeup tips that will make you look gorgeous – no matter what your age or skin tone.

#1 – Red Lipstick

A classic look that never goes out of fashion – red lipstick is a woman’s secret weapon. With your perfect shade of scarlet in your make up bag you can always update an outfit or brighten up a tired face in an instant. The best thing about this timeless product is that there is a shade for everyone. Pale, ethereal women should choose a shade with undertones of blue or brown, if you have olive to dark skin choose a darker red with brown or orange base tones, and dark-skinned beauties can amp up the drama with pinkish red tones. How you wear it is up to you – dab it on with a finger tip for a grungier, just-kissed look or use a lip liner for a precise, striking shape.
