Red lips will be all the rage this Valentine’s Day, and while it’s super glamorous and just reeks of old fashioned ‘Mad Men’ glamour, it’s also the hardest look to do and keep on.
The right red.
Looking for the right red in your shade? While there are a million red lipsticks out there, those red lipstick tube can be the most deceiving. Yep, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stared at a tube, loving the shade, only to apply and it’s nothing like it seems on. Too pinky, too burgundy, too orange, too brown. You’ve been there. Trick is to apply a swatch on white paper and see the actual colors in the red. Is there orange? blue? brown? Once you see the right red, then swatch on the inside of your wrist. How does it look? If it makes your skin look even and translucent, that’s the right shade. If it brings out every vein and mismatched shade, then keep looking.
Trick: The lighter your skin color, the bluer the red you can go. The warmer, or yellow/brown shades in your skin,the more orange, or rust you can go in your red.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post on how to apply.
