Red Lipstick For Your Skin Tone

July 2, 2015 By TheBeautySection 15 Comments

Red Lipstick For Your Skin Tone

Hey friends!!

Red lips are perfect for this upcoming 4th of July, and I don’t know about you but I love red lipstick, red lips are just so classy and timeless. But what shade goes with your skin tone? Today I’m going to share all the details with you, so keep reading!

Red Lipstick For Your Skin Tone

Before we get into this post, let me just go ahead and tell you… YOU can wear red lipstick!! I know so many women that are afraid to try it because they think they might look like a clown, or it’s going to smear and get all over them. But I am here to bust that theory. Red lipstick is beautiful and I don’t care what skin color, eye color, or hair color you have you won’t look like a clown. You just gotta find your perfect color and rock it!! I promise you will be surprised at how much you love it!

Fair Skin:Β 

All the fair skinned girls out there look best in cherry reds with blue undertones. To me cherry reds are so classy. Any red lipstick with blue undertones will actually make your teeth look whiter, which is always a good thing. My favorite true cherry red lipstick is MAC’s Ruby Woo (Matte). This lipstick is absolutely stunning, and very wearable (in my opinion).

Medium Skin:

Medium skin girls are pretty lucky, a lot of reds look great on you, but some look even better than others. My personal favorite is organey-red lipsticks. These can be harder to pull off, but with your nice medium skin this shade will be so flattering for you. One of the first organgey- red lipsticks I ever bought was Maybelline’s Neon Red. I love this color so much!!

Dark Skin:

Tangerine reds look AMAZING on dark skin girls. If you want your lips to be bold with a pop of color this is your shade. The color I would pick is Wet N Wild’s What’s Up Doc… it’s basically all I’ve been wearing lately! This shade maybe more on the coral side, so an even better tangerine color would be Revlon’s Orange Flip (not pictured).

I hope this post was helpful to you next time you are wanting to try a red lipstick but aren’t exactly sure what goes best with your skin! But remember makeup is just fun, if you are fair skinned and want to wear tangerine or orange lipstick then girl you do you! These are just suggestions for what goes with each skin tone.

Have a great 4th of July weekend!!

Do you like red lipstick? Are you scared to try it?Β

    I love the angle you took with this prompt. I cannot wait to see what you do for this week’s Winged Out prompt! So fun.

    Question about Ruby Woo — I’ve read that it’s really dry. Do you have a problem with that on the lips? Do you do moisturize them with anything prior to applying it?

      Thanks so much girl!! Uh Ruby Woo is definitely dry, but I wear a lot of matte lipstick so it’s not anything unusual for me. But if you already have dry lips you should definitely exfoliate them first with a scrub (I love the one from Lush), then just use your favorite lip balm, wipe it off before you apply the lipstick though or the lipstick won’t look quiet right. You can also prepare your lips several nights in advance before you wear it. It’s not that bad though, I definitely think you should buy it! haha :)

    I love the direction you took with this prompt is so fun! Red lipstick can be such a fun way to amp up your look.

    Question about Ruby Woo. I think i want to invest in it, but I’ve heard it’s SUPER dry. Do you have problems with it making your lips look chalky? What do I need to do to prepare my lips beforehand?

    This is so helpful! I’ve told you before how I wanted to take the plunge to try red lipstick, but I haven’t purchased one yet. I have fair skin, so I will look for that one. I like the idea of getting one with blue undertones to make my teeth look whiter, too.

      Aww I’m glad it was helpful!! You really should try red lipstick, it’s just makeup so if you put it on and absolutely hate it, just wipe it off. I would probably buy a cheaper one just in case you don’t like it then it’s not any money wasted. Wet N Wild has a really pretty true red too you should check out. Yea anything that makes my teeth look whiter is fine by me! :)
