In yesterday's article we discussed ways to determine if your skin tone is considered warm or cool. Now that you have an idea which tone you are, it will be easier to select the right shade of red lipstick to flatter your skin tone. If you've been to a department store cosmetic counter lately you have seen so many shades of red, and I am sure you have wondered which red is best for you. Maybe you have been so confused that you have decided to shy away from red altogether! The information here should help you pick out the right hue for you!
If you have determined that you're a cool tone, you should be looking at reds that are blue based.
They will appear more on the pink side. Colors like brick red and berry red would be examples of a blue-based red. On the other hand, if you are a warm tone, you want to look at reds that are more yellow based. These colors will appear more orange than pink. Any red that is described as golden, warm or red anything would be perfect for a warm tone.
When you try the shade on, it should flatter and brighten your face. Most of us will know immediately if we have the right red lipstick on or not; it becomes very obvious, and not in a good way!
Once you have the perfect shade for you, you can then decide on the texture. We have discussed this in a previous blog article, if you want to read about the variety of formulas out there. Now that you understand how to pick out the best red for you, this classic and timeless color is a bit less intimidating to select and a lot more gorgeous for you to wear!
