Lady in red - How to rock red lips!

They say no red is created equal 
and I have to agree!
 
Red lipstick can be intimidating for women because it is so easy to choose the wrong shade and end up looking like Ronald McDonald. I truly believe that there is a shade out there for every woman and I would like to share with you some advice to help you find a red that you can wear with confidence.




If you have;

Pink/rosy undertones -  Go for Cool, blue-based shades of red.
Golden/tan undertones -  Try reds with orange undertones.

Dark beige/bronze undertones -  Deep, cool, burgundy tones.

Ivory/light beige skin -  Deep, true reds.

Tips: 

* When wearing red lipstick be sure to keep eyemake up neutral and go easy on the blush. 
* Do not try and match your red to your outfit.
* Add gloss to the center of your bottom lip - it makes your lips look bigger.
* Prep lips before applying red lipstick, for information see "The perfect pink lips"
* Keep teeth white and always brush them before going out in red lipstick
* Keep a compact mirror handy and check how they are looking every now and then. 
* Always bring your red lipstick with you, for quick touch ups!
