Red lipsticks to suit your skin tone
It’s true. Everyone can wear red lips, all you have to do is find the right shade to suit your skin tone.
Dark skin
If you have a dark skin tone like Rhianna opt for deep, rich colors like burgundy or warm mahogany. Stay away from vibrant reds.
I recommend:
Lancome L’Absolu Rouge in Pense a moi or Rouge Crepsucsule
Medium
You’re lucky. For medium skin tones anything goes. Whether it’s deep reds to pinky reds, these shades will work perfectly with your golden undertones.
I recommend:
Rouge Dior Lipstick Ara Red
Chanel Rouge Allure in Audace
Pale white skin tone
Reds with a hint of coral look fabulous on your skin tone. They’re not too overpowering but will still give you the right amount of colour.
I recommend:
YSL’ s Rouge Volupte in Red Temptation
Also – to avoid doing a Pixie Lott (red lips feathering onto the face) then use a lipliner to avoid embarrassing bleeding.
