THE BEST REDS FOR YOUR SKIN TONE

Wearing a red lip is a quick way to glam up any look while also looking classy and chic, but picking a red lipstick to compliment your skin tone is more important than you might think. Wearing a lipstick that is too bright for your skin tone can leave you looking like a clown and something that is too blue-based can also leave you looking like you have frost bitten lips.
 

The following is a break down on which reds go best with different skin tones {In case you are all wondering, I have light to medium skin but more on the light side}. If you are not any of these skin tones, then just find an in between colour of the two closest shades OR, if in doubt, just go for a coral- red since it is a universally flattering colour and it looks good on everyone.

Fair Skin Tones

{Pink and yellow undertones}

- For pink undertones, go with a coral red or a matte red with a hint of orange in it

- For yellow undertones, go for a coral or brick red that is a bit on the warmer side

Medium to Bronzed Skin Tones

{Olive to golden skin}

- Luckily for you, most shades will work with your skin tone, so go crazy!

- Pink based reds, cranberry and true reds look beautiful with your skin tone

Dark Skin Tones

{Deeper complexions with cool undertones}

- Blue-based reds and/or cool shades like fig, dark cherry, plum red look best with your colouring

- Anything brighter than those shades can sometimes look a little too harsh

Though, you can wear whatever shade lipstick you want, these are just tips on what reds look best with each skin tone.
