Red Lipstick. A classic look for the classy woman (or man). Something about a red lip can make a person’s confidence sky-rocket through the roof, it makes you feel sexy, seductive and powerful all in one. Sometimes that little boost can make all the difference in your day, but that confidence can be shattered when you feel like you look like a glorified clown because your lipstick shade just doesn’t match your skin tone. The makeup industry has made huge strides in making sure that everyone no matter their skin tone, is able to find the shades right for them. If we have no idea which ones will work well with our particular skin tones then that effort may have gone to waste. So here’s a few tips and tricks to find the perfect red lip for you.
Fair Skin
The red lip will definitely pop on you, you could even be the next snow white! Stick to blue undertones in order to complement your fair complexion or you can go a little bolder with an orange tinted red lip!
Medium Skin Tones
Like fair skin tones you will look best in blue based, orangey reds but make sure your orangey red tones are a little deeper in order to suit your beautiful skin tone.
Olive Skin Tones
Rust colors will work perfectly on you! They will add a little bit of warmth whilst still being bold and flattering, you could even try it in a matte to go a little bolder.
Caramel Skin Tones
Try and go with cooler reds to contrast your complexion and add a little depth to your look. Ombre looks that get a little darker in the center of your lips are perfect for you!
Deep Skin Tones
Warm Cherry based skin tones and burgundies work best on you, if you choose to go for a brighter red, layer a darker purple toned lip liner under your lipstick. It will add a little bit of warmth whilst still being bright and beautiful.
