Finding “The One”

Find the right ruby shade and you can conquer the world! No, seriously — there’s something incredibly empowering, daring and glamorous about wearing red lipstick. The right finish will not only look good, but it can give you the boost you need to uplift your spirit.
Pout Prep
Red lipstick is not as forgiving as say, nude or pink. Achieve a smooth and velvety application by making sure your lips are exfoliated and chap-free! Try using The Body Shop Lip Scuff, a lip moisturizer and scrub in one!
Another thing to remember is the fuzz above your pout … awkward! But red lipstick really draws attention to your mouth, so you’ll want to make sure it’s smooth up there as well.
Liner Is Your Best Friend
Use a foolproof, invisible liner like Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Lip Pencil in Ozone as a primer to fill in your lips and then trace the outside of your natural lip line to prolong the wear of your lipstick and prevent bleeding!
Day or Night
Contrary to (unpopular!) belief, you CAN sport a daytime red lip. The trick is to keep the rest of your looklight and natural. Once night falls, it’s time to go bold and deepen your hue for a true statement or try something wild like red glitter lips!
Simple Pairings
Perfectly pair your red lip with flawless skin and lashes that are to die for using Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara! When it comes to your lids, go for a classic cat eye or a light smoky eye and feel free to go matchy-matchy with red nail polish.

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects.
