Hogwarts Houses: Gryffindor

Gryffindor's house colours are scarlet (sometimes described as red) and gold, and their house animal is a lion.


They are known for their courage and bravery so I wanted to make this look quite bold, which was quite easy considering the colours.

I'm quite pleased with how it came out, since red can be a challenging colour to wear on the eyes.

Lips
Maybelline Super Stay 24 Color - 585 Burgundy Bordeaux Infini
Maybelline (possibly the same product in old packaging) - 427

I wasn't 100% happy with the lips because, although the colour was what I wanted,  I found the products hard to use. I rarely use them because of this. They just won't apply to the innermost parts of the lips, which leaves that unattractive bit of skin you can see running along the inside. I find it's hard to layer also, so if you want it to be fully opaque you have to be careful of dragging and accidentally removing the layer below. 

Alternatively you could just use any bold red lipstick, and even layer over a red gloss to give it more of an impact.

Thanks for checking this out!
