How to WEAR red lipstick? 
- Choose the right shade of red. For fair skin, go for a red that has blue undertones. For ruddy skin, choose a pinkish red. Olive skin looks best with warm reds that have orange, gold, or brown base. Dark brown skin is stunning in a bright fuchsia-red. But of course, confer with the women at the cosmetics counter.
- Keep the rest of the makeup simple. Red lipstick is statement enough. Don`t overdo the eye makeup or the blush or you run the risk of looking like a clown. Let the lips be the focus.
- Make sure you know how to apply it. It is a bit of an art form. This is not the lipstick you can throw on in the back of a taxi. Again, confer with the women at the cosmetics counter & also see below.
“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” – Gwyneth Paltrow
How to APPLY red lipstick?
- Apply a lip moisturizer first & then a thin layer of foundation.
- After the foundation dries, add a layer of face powder, which will help set the lipstick so that it will last longer.
- Next, line the lips with a pencil that matches your lipstick. Keep within the natural line of your lip.
- Apply a thin, even coat of the lipstick.
- Blot. Always remember to blot!
- Apply a second coat & you`re ready to go!
