Red Stain

Everybody wants to rock the red lip, nobody thinks they can. Well here's a newsflash- you can. But there are a number of things you must first keep in mind.

1. The red lip must match your skin under-tones. Here are some general guidelines:
-Fair skin is complimented by coral reds


-Medium skin is complimented by anything from a true red to a pink-cranberry.

-Dark skin is complimented by deep, rich reds or brick reds. Avoid anything to bright.



It is also important to stick to a focal point of the makeup. If you use a red lipstick, don't add a smokey eye or heavily bronzed cheeks. Instead, try a red lip with a gun-metal liquid liner for the top lid, a light coat of mascara, and a even skin tone.
