Red Lipstick Dos and Don'ts

Dos and Don'ts of Red Lipstick

When it comes to red lipstick, there are a few dos and don'ts to keep in mind to ensure that you look your best.

Choose the Right Shade

First, make sure to choose the right shade for your skin tone. If you have fair skin, cool-toned reds will look best on you, while warmer skin tones can pull off orange-red shades. Those with deeper skin tones can experiment with deeper, richer shades of red.

Use Lip Liner

When applying red lipstick, be sure to use a lip liner to define the shape of your lips and prevent the color from bleeding.

Keep the Rest of Your Makeup Minimal

Another important tip is to keep the rest of your makeup minimal. A bold red lip is a statement in itself, so you don't want to compete with it by wearing heavy eye makeup or dramatic blush. Instead, opt for a natural-looking base and a subtle eye look.

Avoid Messy Appearance

One of the biggest don'ts when it comes to red lipstick is wearing it with a messy or unkempt appearance. Red lipstick is a bold, attention-grabbing statement, so you want to make sure that the rest of your look is polished and put-together.

Consider the Occasion

Finally, keep in mind the occasion when you're wearing red lipstick. While it can be a great choice for a night out or a formal event, it may not be appropriate for more casual settings. When in doubt, a sheer or stain formula can provide a more subtle pop of color without being too overpowering.
