How to choose the right red lipstick?

The right shade of lipstick can brighten your face, while the wrong red could overpower a makeup look or make one look tawdry.

Here's my guide for choosing the best one for you.

What's your skin tone?

PORCELAIN (ultra light with cool undertones)

best: cool red (bright or dark)

daring option: warm red

FAIR (light with cool undertones)

best: cool red (bright or dark)

daring option: warm red

BISQUE (pink undertoned)

best: cool and warm bright red

daring: dark red (warm or cool)

BEIGE (yellow undertoned)

best: warm red, even cool red

daring: orangey bright red

OLIVE (green undertoned)

best: warm red

daring: pinky red or bright red

TAWNY (darker beige)

best: warm red

daring: orangey red

Some lipsticks that will suit everyone:

-MAC in Ruby Woo

-MAC in Russian red

-Clinique Almost Perfect in Black honey

-Elizabeth Arden in Rouge

-Nars in Red lizard

-Rimmel in Kate Moss 107

My tips:

~Your skin tone also depends on your foundation shade.

~Deep colors make your lips appear thinner.

~Lipsticks with blue base make your teeth look whiter.

~Lipsticks with brown base make your teeth look yellowish.

~Gradually add color, there are many ways to wear a red lipstick.

~You can mix different lipsticks together or create ombre look.

~Apply it with a brush for a smoother finish and sharper edge.

~Experiment, there are no rules! :)
