RED HOT!!!






Another one of my personal favorite looks these days is the red lipstick(preferably with black eyeliner) look...it can look classic and elegant yet sexy(think marilyn monroe) or bold and hot(think gwen stefani). Either way this look can be used to really make a statement!
Red as a colour complements all skin tones and can look great on anyone....all you need is to pick the right shade for your skin tone. Now how do you pick the right shade for ur skin tone? its easy, just follow this simple guide.
1. first determine your skin tone as either cool(pink undertones--really fair english skin that burns easily) or warm(yellow undertones--deeper darker tones that tan easily)
2. for cooler skin tones pink tones of red, Berry Reds, Blackberry Reds, Brick Reds, Blue tones of Red, Plum tones etc look better
3. Warmer skin tones look better with Orangey reds, Warm reds, Tomato reds, Brown based reds, Golden reds, Tawny reds.
4. finally when you've narrowed down your choices its better to try them on your lips to see if it looks good on you.
