Pucker Up Your Luscious Red Lips!

11:02 - 16 October 2013

It takes a confident person to pull off the red lip look. You might worry that the look might not fit you but there are a number of shades to choose from when trying out red lip colors. From the tomato red to the blood red, there are different shades to go with skin tones. For those not bold enough to try out the reds, there are cooler shades of pink that might suit the occasion.

Though it is a huge trend now, one needs to consider color and skin tone. In other words, there are guidelines for using it. A few things to note:

Lay low on the eye makeup – since there will be a lot of attention on your lip, you do not want to overdo it with the eyes. Minimal eye makeup would do so the focus would be on the lip.

Coordinate your look – Because red is such a fiery color, you want to make sure your lipstick is properly applied. You should watch out for smudging on your teeth and smudges at the edge of your lips.

Pay attention to shades – Bolder shades for night outing and softer shades, almost pinkish for a day look. Don’t be afraid to try out different shades and though this might cost you a lot of unused lipsticks, it is worth all the trouble.

So put these in view and don’t be afraid to use your red color like the confident woman that you are.
