Red Lipstick looks

Growing up I was always told that naughty girl’s wear red lipstick. As I grew older and wiser to fashion and makeup I realized that as long as you wear it the right way you will look stunning. After much research and makeup mistakes I’ve found that that the paler the skin, the more bold you can be with your shade of red. For medium to dark complexions you will look gorgeous in matte reds. I must say, no matter your shade of red make sure that you wear a gorgeous mute eye color and a warm color on the cheeks. Compliment this look with a sheer nail color. If you must wear red nail color please be sure that the color on your lips match the color on your nails or you will turn such a fabulous look into a shameful tacky mess.

Also, even before trying on red lipstick be mindful of your personal undertones. If you have red or pink undertones plum shades compliment you. If you have yellow to brown undertones, berry shades compliment you. If you have blue undertones meaning that you are of a pale complexion striking true red shades are simply amazing on you.

FAB CHALLENGE: Imagine yourself in a stunning solid dark color ensemble, a patent leather pump, wow accessories and your right shade of red lips with a fierce do. My that would be a sight for sore eyes. I challenge you to think outside the box and get to getting more fabulous!

You can find the products in the layout at any fine department store or drug store.
