Red lipstick makes a statement. It's sexy, bold, and shows that
your are confident. When choosing a shade, don't just grab the prettiest one on
the shelf. Instead, look for a shade of red that works with your skin tone.
Fair Skin
If you have fair skin, look for reds
with a coral undertone. Fair skin tends to have a cool tone, so the coral will
warm up your skin tone. Avoid warm reds because it will clash with your skin.
One to try is Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Fire and Ice.
Medium Skin
Medium skin with a golden undertone looks best with pink or true
red lipstick. Shades of cranberry are good choices. Cover Girl Trushine
Lipcolor in Valentine Shine looks great on medium skin tones.
Dark Skin
Deep colors like wine and burgundy
look best with dark skin. Bright red lip color has too much contrast between
the lips and skin. L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Red Rhapsody is a great
color for darker skin tones.
Pale Skin
If your skin is pale, look for rosy
reds. Dark reds will wash out your light coloring. MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo is a great shade of red for fair skin.
You should try a shade before buying.
To avoid germs at the cosmetic counter, smear a little lipstick on the pad of
your finger. The skin tone here closely matches your lips, so it will be a good
indicator of how it will look on your lips. You also can hold your fingers to
your mouth to get a good idea of how it will look. Look for a shade that that
makes your eyes sparkle and doesn't bring out any redness in your cheeks.
Darker hues will make minor flaws in
your lips look worse, so always use a lip
moisturizer to minimize cracks and flakes. Use a brush to apply red lipstick
for greater control. Finish with a dab of clear gloss on the center of your
lips for the perfect pout.
