What is more classic and chic than a bold red lip? Whether you are competing in a pageant or want to try something new, there is a perfect red for every woman!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start, make sure your lips are moisturized to ensure the smoothest application. Next, apply a lip primer like Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Primer to get a long-lasting effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Red Lip Color for Skin Tone<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to choose a shade of lip liner to compliment your lipstick and to keep the lip line looking sharp. It\u2019s also a good idea to keep your favorite concealer and concealer brush on hand to clean up the edges and prevent product from traveling outside the lip line.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fair Skin<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Red stands out very easily on fair skin. To find your best shade choose a lipstick with an undertone that matches your skin\u2019s undertone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a softer look try Bobbi Brown Sheer Lip Color in the shade \u201cCherry Pink\u201d. It has pink undertones and a sheer finish for a more natural looking red lip. Pair with a subtle, neutral smokey eye.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve a more bold look, NARS \u201cRed Lizard\u201d also has a pink undertone and the perfect amount of pigment without being overwhelming on a fair complexion. This looks great with cool toned shadows and blush.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Light Skin<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Light and medium skin tones seem to have the widest range of shades to choose from when it comes to red lipstick.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a more golden undertone, try \u201cLady Ruba\u201d from Bobbi Brown. It\u2019s a bright red shade with a hint of coral and a satin finish. A warm toned blush complements this shade nicely.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a serious punch of color, try Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in the shade \u201cBing\u201d. This has a bit of a yellow undertone which makes for a seemingly neon red and has a beautiful matte finish.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medium Skin<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For medium skin tones, you can\u2019t go wrong with the ever-popular \u201cRuby Woo\u201d from MAC. A gorgeous, true red with their retro matte finish makes for a classic, pin-up red lip. Pair with a sharp black winged liner for some extra flare. The retro matte lipsticks from MAC tend to feel a bit dry, so be sure to prep your lips accordingly!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a deeper red, NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in \u201cMajella\u201d is a rich, blue-based red that will edge up any makeup look. Pairs well with a flirty and full false lash.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deep Skin<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have a deep skin tone you can pull off deeper reds in addition to classic, bright red lips.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a more natural red, try the Bobbi Brown Art Stick in the color \u201cCassis\u201d. It is a gorgeous deep red with a brown undertone. These sticks can actually double as a cheek color and come with a free jumbo sharpener, too!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a truly long wearing red lip, check out Face Stockholm Lipstick in \u201cCognac\u201d. It is a bold wine-colored red with a natural finish that will last all day! They also make a shade called \u201cDesire\u201d, a deep wine color that is great if you\u2019re going for a more vampy look.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that these are all just suggestions. If you have fair skin but want to rock a dark, brown-red lip, do it! Just like if you have a deep skin tone and a neon red makes you feel fabulous, own it! At the end of the day, it is important to wear a shade that you feel your best in!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
