The Best Red Lip Makeup for Your Skin Tone

Red: The color of passion, the color of love. It’s probably the sexiest color around and when painted on your lips, it’s dynamite. Like with all lip makeup colors, certain shades of red look better on some skin tones than others. Because of this semi-frustrating fact, I am constantly asked by readers to help them find the best red for them. I highly recommend MAC products, there lasting ability, and pigment is excellent. And if you are modeling, or have a engagement this is the cosmetic line to work with!

Before finding your ideal shade of red lip color, check out these quick tips for making your application of this semi-tricky shade to last:
1. First, wipe off any lip balm or moisture on your lips as this will keep the lipstick from sticking.
2. Try using a clear (or reverse) lip liner to line and fill in your lips. This will help the red color last longer when applied on top.
3. For a precise look, use a lip brush to carefully apply your red lipstick to your lips. Or, if you want more of a stained look, use a fingertip to apply.
4. After you have applied a strong lip shade, dip a clean lip blush in a little concealer and gently trace the outside of your lips to ensure a clean, sharp line.

AND THERE  YOU GO!
