The Truth About Red Lipstick

I've been getting a lot of questions about how to wear red lipstick. Red lipstick is something that can be worn to bring your little black dress to life, it can easily make or break an outfit. The only thing about wearing red lipstick is that you can easily make yourself look like bozo the clown if done incorrectly. The truth of the matter is that any woman can wear lipstick it's just a matter of picking out the right shade of red. The first thing you want to do when choosing a red lipstick is to look at your skin tone. The darker your skin tone the darker your shade of red should be. For example, paler skin tones look better in red lipstick that is rich in pink undertones , berry tones and plum tones.

Darker complexions and olive tones look better with golden, Orange and brown based red tones. Now the next thing you may want look at is the shape of your lips, if you have thin lips then lighter shades of red will flatter your lips and make them look fuller, but if you have fuller lips you may want to use darker shades of red.

Now when you actually wearing the red lipstick it's important to keep the eyes neutral. You don't want to do to use too much color so a neutral eyeshadow application or a basic smokey eye would be perfect to bring out your sensual red lips.
