[manoulicious]

you are so right!!! i tried a red lipstick for the first time... i always thought i was way too dark to wear any color on my lips..... but i love it !!! thank you ....

do you have any tips on how to fix the lipstick and make it last longer? it faded away and had stains a lil around my lips..

[PinkSwoon1206]

Beautiful!

[koyinsolami]

You are beautiful.

[rahrahritaa]

i LOVE wearing red lipstick!

i usually go all out, but sometimes when i'm not feeling as bold, i just dab it on so it's like a stain :)

[skittelz9228]

Can you do a video with pink lipsticks.Red looks so weird on me i don't know why

[onecheapchic]

What kind of camera do you use. It is amazing.

[MsYocool]

[MsPhenomenalBeauty]

I'm too scared to try the red lip just yet..I'm slightly darker than you. But you make red lipstick look beautiful!

[GlitzyGlam34]

I'm loving a red lip right now too ! You look gorgeous as always ! xo Jessie

[TheLizHaley]

You look a lot like the actress Sophie Okonedo! Although to be honest I believe you are prettier, but the resemblance is still there!

[SheepGoesTheDog]

Your teeth are so white... Whitening tutorial?;)xxx

[shirleybeniang]

@SheepGoesTheDog I don't whiten my teeth. Just the good ol' brushing twice a day trick. ;) x

[SheepGoesTheDog]

@shirleybeniang Aah, okay! Can I just say how touched I am that you replied to one of my replies though? because some gurus have so many comments they cant possibly reply to all of them...*sigh*. But when I read that you had replied to one of my comments, I felt really touched! So thank you! But secondly, I would like to say how much I, as a 13 year old, look up to your style... and white teeth;). You just seem like a lovely person and one of my favourite gurus! thumbs to show our appreciation!

[mizlisalisa]

Love it! Red looks great on U!

[chrystanya7]

Thumbs up for girls with BIG LIPS!!!!

[whitemoonflower100]

have u worn darkside by mac? if so do u like it

[TheCaramelmilkshake]

new subscriber :)

[SpiffyMcSnazzy]

Dark lipsticks just show every flaw in my lips. I don't understand how peoples' lips can look flawless.

[ladymimi101]

I love the way this was filmed! It's different.

[CarmelXstasy]

I know this is a lip video but the whole time i was trying to figure out what shadow you had on in this video? or is it that laura mercier cream eyeshadow in rose gold?

[shirleybeniang]

@CarmelXstasy Close! I've got the new Laura Mercier Illuminator on my lid, also across my cheek plane! I'll be raving all about it in my next video! :) xo

[1336ntopsail]

You look so Beautiful, and i really love your eyebrows, how do you do them?

[BrownEyedGirl1200]

you're gorgeous! love the vid

[MaddieDeslatte]

your probly one of the only girls who's lips look really good with only carmex on!!

[TheRitaWay]

That color is fantastic - beautiful Shirley!

[hwalton211]

You look AMAZING! Wish more women would wear red lips.

[TheCoilWhisperer]

Based off of the winged video you recently uploaded, what winged eye are you rockin' today?

[imanganation]

I LOVE the red lip! I had a red lipgloss, and when I wore it, I wasn't brave enough to don it as it was highly glossy. It was a Kat Von D Painted Love lipgloss which was in a bright red color I can't find anymore. But because this gloss didn't seem to work for me, I stopped trying red.

Then I bought MAC's Russian Red. I love it! It's matte and a great formula that lasts all day. I can't wait to pick up Ruby Woo and MAC Red to have several different reds.

A red lip makes me feel so beautiful.

[iconicxp]

soooo in love with the ruby wooo from mac thanks for the vid

[sarasidii]

You're gorgeous! And I am so jealous of how full your lips are!

[squirralicious]

I use red lips almost every day xP

[MeMyselfMartini]

Amazing tutorial and tips very helpful :) i think i will take a chance ha finally x

[lundyncanada]

I'm Soul.

[chentingting]

I learnt that insstead of sucking on your finger to remove lipstick. to just smile when applying your lipliner and lipstick. It is fool proof. The highest possiblity of getting lipstains is when you smile and your lips thin out, fold back and touch your teeth.

[barbieliciousnicki]

yur sooooooooo pretty !!

[JRichMakeup]

Love love it have you tried limecrime retrofutarist its a red lipstick amazing xo

[Piecesibble]

You're such a sweetheart! 3

[lilmizslani]

in case anyone is having trouble finding carmex, asos sells it :)

[matildajr]

So darn cute!! I love your vids :-). Happy holidays.

[Tigermae81]

love wearing red lipstick, I wear ruby woo or russian red nearly everyday, I use exfoliating gloves to exfoliate my lips xo

[Charelva90]

I bought ruby woo last week, my very first red lipstick and i LOVE it!! I feel so sexy when I wear it. I'm zo happy I tried it

[pebbles8482]

hi, have you tried mac so chaud? it's an orange red, but with blue undertones so it looks good on women of color. i'm nc45, and i have it, and it's absolutely amazing! i can see it looking great on you as well :)

[MaddieSJennings]

i love the MUA lipsticks too, i wear shade 1, which is a gorgeous summery red if applied with a lighthand and turned into a sort of tint? it can also be a very vampy red if applied straight from the bullet xx

[bobo5453]

wow u have HUGE lips

[MARLENIAMOSLEY]

thank you I will try

[simplyMEsimplyB1]

"I know that looks wrong." Lol...how sweet and cute you were! Thanks for sharing.

[davionweber]

Wat type of camera do u use??? Its amazing!!!

[kit0k0]

Would you wear a red lip or any bright colors to uni?

[toomuchformyself]

You look classic and gorgeous in this video. What are you wearing? It looks like a no makeup makeup look.

[classyandfab101]

i did as well bought nearly all the mua lipsticks, they are cheap but really good! another fantastic video Shirley. mua 13 is the bomb, used it in my pin up inspired look- love ya xo xo

[fluffybunnylove1]

Okay, you've convinced me. Next time i go out i'll put on my red lipstick. I bought it ages ago but have always been afraid of using it! Thanks for the vid! X

[BaileyShakespeare]

My lips are acctualy naturaly really really red and I can't wear beige lips, my nude lips are red lips haha. :)

[auntiSHINKY09]

gorgeous!

[trisharose87]

Love your camera!

[Katastrophiies]

I have that MUA lipstick! I was surprised at how great it is!

[MariaJernov]

awesome video <3

[Ollielollylanny]

People think I am weird because I have a spare tooth brush to brush my lip - I'm glad I am not the only one. :D

[Flumpyy24]

At the moment if you spend £8 on MUA make-up you get a free immaculate pallette which has 24 eye shadows :) just in case anyone wants to know! x

[BellaDonna0912]

your absolutely GORGEOUS ! <3

[tmickey05]

just lovely

[the1ThickSause]

hi!

You are beautiful! Love your look!

Recently, I've been experimenting with red lips and I love it! It feels a bit strange as it is not a colour that young black women use in Trinidad, so I do get a few stares, and compliments! Ruby Woo is my favourite thus far.

Anyway, I wondered what colour foundation do you use in Mac's studio fix and what concealer do you use with it?

[RemyKouture912]

What type of camera are you using to record? Its great!

[GluttonForSex]

Dayum. Gorgeous lips on a gorgeous girl.

[twilighter249]

hey what camera do you use please ?



[sweetnheart25]

hahaa "iknow that it looks wrong" xD

[loickandtinie]

Hello Shirley! I just wanna say I think you're amazing! I plan on cutting my hair for my 18th birthday and I just wanted to ask you if you could do a tutorial on how to wear short hair because you make it look amazing! Thank you! <3

[Lovettesz]

[lookunderhere]

[KlairedelysArt]

I love, love LOVE the MUA lipsticks. They're amazing!

[Beautifulsinking]

[bumhumm]

I have a red lipstick from Elizabeth Arden but I haven't really used it. I just do not know the appropriate time to wear it. Do you think it's only suitable for the evening? :(

[Totolani2011]

Are you wearing false eyelashes if so which ones

[shirleybeniang]

@Totolani2011 Yep! MAC No. 33's x

[MsMidniteStar]

Yoru really pretty :D no homo

[BewareOfBrassKnucks]

[shirleybeniang]

@BewareOfBrassKnucks I get a comment like this every day. There must be a resemblance, Plus I'm flattered because she is beautiful, so thank you! :)

[jazmissionary]

Ruby Woo = <3 It is my perfect red lip. I NEVER wore red lipstick before discovering this.

[metissecreole]

[brightbeautyxo]

[bubblybr1]

[Sofrolushes]

Hi Shirley,

Girl you're so beautiful with or without make up! Thanks for these beauty basics series and waiting for more.

Love from Finland

[summerfey]

fantastic as always Shirley! :)

I was wondering, you mentioned that "ruby woo" was a really good long-lasting lipstick that you don't really have to touch up thoughout the day, do you think it would stand up to going out for dinner? I have been looking for a good red lipstick for Christmas, but I don't want to have to worry about it bleeding, moving or fading as I eat :P Have a great one cutie! Lots of love from Canada <3

[shirleybeniang]

@summerfey It definitely would!! :) x
