How to Choose A Red Lipstick
How to choose a red lipstick can be a very daunting task and if you are not used to wearing red, it can be a little scary. However, if you havent tried or found your red lip shade, I suggest you do! Red Lips are here to stay! Not to mention, it’s a super classy make up look and can dress up any outfit!
One of the first steps in choosing a red right for you is first ask yourself are you a warm or cool undertone. If you have warm undertones, or yellow, golden or olive skin, choose a red that is warm. If you have cool, or blue, rose, or cool undertones choose a blue red. A great drugstore brand lip shade is Wet and Wild ($4) , 910D, in Red Velvet and Revlon Color Burst in True Red ($9) for someone who has fair to medium skin tones.
If you have a medium to dark skin tone, try L’Oreal Colour Riche lipstick in Sunset Red ($9), or Excessive Rouge Allure Lipstick by Chanel ($32).
These great, red hues are a sure hit, to look glamourous, on any skin tone! MAC’s Russian Red ($14.50), Nars Sheer Color in Flaminco ($24), and Chanel’s, Limited Edition, Rouge Allure, in Famous ($28.50,Holiday 2011) are some safe shades to try if you are unsure of what undertone you are.
