You know so many of us truly think red lipstick is something whores wear or just think they cant pull it off. That's an urban myth! Lets break down that wall and realize that red is glamorous. The right red lip and some mascara can go a long way. The first thing you need to realize is that there are different shades of red. There is true red, blue-red, orange-red, pink-red, brown-red, burgundy I mean it could go on. We haven't even gotten into lip gloss, lip stains, matte lipsticks, mineral lipsticks, etc, etc, etc.... When you buy the red lipstick you want choose a brand that is rich in pigment (this will insure that your color and applications will last) to test this out rub a little on the back of your hand, the purpose of this is to see how easily it goes on and how the color comes out of the tube. If you are pressing hard and hardly see the color throw it away for the store (just kidding)move on to the next brand. Things are kind of easier now because now half the products out now are labeled as pigment-rich, but test it out anyway. Because of all the different types of red out there you need to know you skin tone:
1) For my pale skin girls blue-red is for you.
2) For my fair or beige skin mamas pink-red works nice.
3) For my tan and olive skin chics orange and brown reds are fabulous on you
4) For my brown sisters, we can get away with alot, true-red, brown-red, burgundy, we can do this because of the pigment in our skin.
Some quick do's and don't for red lipstick:
Do wear it with classic as well as classy pieces.
Don't wear alot of makeup with it.
Do use it to edge up an outfit.
Don't go out and about and not touch up your lips.
Red lipstick makes a statement! Go light with it if you are not sure on your shade, it is only lipstick, have fun with it, trust me the right shade can turn heads. Love you, mean it!
