Glossy Red Lips Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The lips in this one are drawn as a tight close-up, like a cropped beauty shot. Upper lip has that sharp cupid bow shape and both lips are slightly parted, which is what gives it that confident glossy look. The satin stitch highlight band running across the centre of each lip is what makes this stand out from a regular filled lip design. Its not subtle at all and thats the point.

Five colours in the file: the main crimson red base, a pale blush toned fill underneath, a deep shadow pink at the outer curves, a bright white highlight stripe, and a charcoal outline that holds the whole shape clean. Digitised at density 921 so the satin areas lay flat and dont bunch up when youre stitching at the larger 7.5 inch size. Run light cutaway under stretch fabric, the underlay matters here because the satin sections are wide and will shift on knit without proper support. Ive had alot of customers stitch this on stretchy jersey and the ones who skipped the cutaway came back with wavy lips, which is not the look.

Runs from 3.5 inches wide 7.5 in max, stitch count goes from 13,160 at the small end up to 34,475 at the largest. Last month a customer ordered the big version for a canvas tote she was making for a beauty school graduation gift. She said those highlight stitches actually caught the light. Pair this with a plain dark background fabric if you want the red to really pop. Skip light or white base fabrics unless you want to hoop a topping layer first.

Add a stabiliser that matches your hooped fabric weight before you start. The colour sequencing runs base fill first, then shadow, then the bright highlight stripe last so it sits clean on top without the red bleeding through. Five sizes ready to load and stitch, no resizing needed from your end. Holler at me if you run into any sizing questions.
