Red lips are chic and sexy at the same time. This timeless trend suits everyone, but it is quite intense. What's the best way to wear red lips?
Red lips suit everyone. It's a matter of finding the right shade. Some people have red lips as a beauty signature. Do you find it intense? Maybe this is a suitable look for the holidays.
What shade of red?
A red lipstick is not a one size fits all. It is very important that you choose a shade that suits your skin well. A handy guideline is to see whether your skin has a warm or cool undertone.
Undertone
Cool shades of lipstick go well with cool undertones:cherry red, dark red and red with a blue undertone. With a warm undertone in the skin, it is best to choose red gold, orange-red or brown-red. Beauty blogger Michelle Phan gives three handy tips in this video to discover which shade of red suits your skin.
The look
Make sure you apply red lipstick neatly. By using a lip liner (such as the one from Viva la Diva), you ensure that the lipstick does not settle into the lines around your mouth. You can also color in your entire lips with the lip liner, as a base. The rest of your make-up is best kept calm.
