Of course I&#8217;m talking to the ladies here \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s probably the sexiest colour around and when painted on your lips, it&#8217;s dynamite. No matter what the season or whatever the trends in makeup or fashion, red lipstick has always and will always be in style.<\/p>\n<p>However, where a lot of us get it wrong is in finding the perfect shade. Do you have issues with\u00a0the perfect shade? Here are three fail-safe ways to pick the perfect red lipstick \u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>SKIN TONE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have fair skin tone , consider a shade with a touch of orange in it to brighten your complexion. Think tomato red to coral red. That\u2019s not to say you can\u2019t go with a dark red, but stay away from deep reds with blue in them.<\/p>\n<p>Cool reds, devoid of orange undertones, are the most complementary on darker tones. In general, look for shades with a blue, almost plum, cast (as in, deep cranberry to light crimson).<\/p>\n<p><strong>SKIN COLOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have fair skin, you\u2019ll look brilliant in apricot nudes, pinks and light corals. Skip the browns.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a medium skin tone, you can be brave and go a touch darker. You\u2019ll look amazing in reds with tones of rose, mauve, berry and burgundy. Run the other way from bright reds.<\/p>\n<p>If you have dark skin, deep plum red, chocolate or red is fabulous with dark skin. In fact you can easily go in one of two directions: brown or purple. Think caramel reds for daytime and plum or wine reds for evening.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HAIR COLOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You wouldn&#8217;t think about your hair colour having anything to do with your red lipstick, right? For those with darker hair, deeper reds look great. Try a burgundy or wine colored shade. However, if you have dark hair, but light skin, choose something a bit understated or your look will be too severe. Red heads can\u2019t go wrong with a great coral shade of red.<\/p>\n<p>So, now all you need to do is pick your perfect shade and you&#8217;re good to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all love red lipstick, don&#8217;t we?
