 The
most important thing to consider when wearing red lipstick is
picking the right shade. All reds are not created equal, finding the
right one for you and wearing it properly will make all the
difference. The key to getting the right red is the coordinating the
undertone with your skin tone. Yellow and orange-based reds are
great for wheatish skin, while blue and purple-based reds complement
duskier complexions.
Lip
shape should also be considered when selecting that perfect red. If
your lips are thin, lighter shades of red will be more flattering,
for those with fuller lips look for deeper, darker reds.
To apply a red
mouth, make sure lips are well moisturized (or color will stick to
dry patches). Then carefully paint on with a brush. After coating
your mouth, suck on your finger for a moment: This will remove the
lipstick from the inner part of your lips—the part most prone to
depositing the color on your teeth. Red lips will be the focus of
your face, so make sure the rest of your look doesn't compete with
it.
Prepare to get
noticed. Red lipstick is not for those who want to blend into the
crowd, so be ready to get noticed. If you're not comfortable with an
all out red to start with consider wearing a red-tinted gloss as a
way to ease your way into it.
