While minimal makeup looks are often thought of as using neturals, red lipstick can actually be a great option for this. If you’re forgoing elaborate eyeshadow and opting for just mascara, applying a red lip can take the look up a notch while still remaining simple. The minimalism lies in the use of three or less products to get the look. You can also tone down red lipstick by blotting the color to make it less intense.
