FAQ: Red Lipstick
Does red lipstick look good on dark skin?
Red intense colors look flattering on dark skin. If your skin has warm undertones, choose peach-toned reds like, for instance, “Russian Red” by MAC, “Uncensored” by Fenty Beauty or “Perfect Red” by NYX. If you are on the colder side, choose an all-time favorite “Ruby Woo” by MAC or “EDEN” by NYX, those blue based lipsticks have pinkish undertones. The trick to making any lipstick look more defined is pairing it with a darker lip liner: a cherry or a burgundy colored one.
What makeup goes with red lipstick?
Red lipstick will make the skin discoloration more evident. So it is important to even out the skin tone before applying it.
As red lipstick makes an accented look by itself, it is recommended to pair it with a neutral eye makeup: shimmery eyeshadows or soft brown colors. Wing liner is a great way to add more definition and not overweight the whole look. However, lashes should be defined in any case, apply mascara and/or false lashes.
Red lipstick also makes your face look plain. You may need to add more bronzer and reapply blush after you finish your makeup.
