Discover the Best Red Lipstick for You
Red lipstick is a timeless look, evoking Old Hollywood glamour and vintage 1940s style. With the best red lipstick for your skin tone--and the right attitude--you can transform yourself into a sexy siren for the day or night. However, be sure to invest in the right red for you--meaning the one that complements your complexion and your personal style.
First, consider your skin tone. If you have cool undertones, the best red lipstick for you will be one that's a blue-toned red. If you have pale skin with slightly blue undertones, you have a cool complexion. As you search for cool blue-toned reds, you can also consider pink-toned reds. You'll also be able to wear darker reds; however, be sure not to go too dark--it can look goth instead of glam. Fortunately, women with cool skin tones tend to be able to wear most reds; just think of Scarlett Johanssen and Nicole Kidman who sport red lipstick flawlessly.
If your skin has warm undertones, you likely have a golden glow or brown-toned skin. Women with warm tones will find that orange reds will be the best red lipsticks for them. Luckily, this orangey red is what most people think of when they consider red lipstick--the same tone that vintage glamazons like Sophia Loren and Rosalind Russell wore.
How to Wear Red Lipstick:
After you've chosen the best red lipstick to match your style, it's time to get up the courage to wear it. Follow these easy tips to make the most of your sexy look:
1. Keep your eye makeup simple. Dramatic eye makeup combined with red lipstick can be too much--especially for daytime. Let your lips steal the show by downplaying your eyes.
2. Use a nude lipliner to prevent bleeding, which red lipstick shades are notorious for doing.
3. Wear something that makes you feel confident. Raging red lips require an extra dose of self confidence to match the extra dose of attention you'll be getting. The right little black dress or sexy sweater can make all the difference in pulling off this classically dramatic look.
