The Right Red Lipstick For Your Skintone

A lot of women shy away from red lipstick, but anyone can wear it. 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.


If you have Fair Skin

Coral-y reds look most beautiful on you; they add a shot of color but aren’t overpowering.
 Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick Fire and Ice.
 This lipstick has been around since at least the 1950s, when Revlon threw a huge advertising campaign for it with such lines as “Would you streak your hair with platinum without consulting your husband?” The lipstick feels wonderful on—not too greasy or dry, just perfect. And the color? It’s a perfect coral red!

If you have Medium Skin

Anything from true red to pinky-cranberry shades will work well with your golden undertones
 Shiseido 415, Shiseido is a great bet; it’s a bolder, more opaque formula, a true red.
 CoverGirl in Really Red 
CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick in Really Red 575 has been described on blogs as a “bright and hot” red. It is indeed really red—if you layer it up.  —red pink.

If you have Dark Skin

Stick with deep, rich colors like burgundy or warm brick—superbright ones can seem too harsh.
