Don't worry, your favorite beauty advisor is here to help you unlock the secret to choosing the perfect red lipstick that will make you feel like a million bucks.
Aight, let's go!! First up.........
Understanding Your Skintone
Before we dive into the world of red lipsticks, it's crucial to understand your skintone.
Skintones generally fall into three categories: warm, cool, and neutral.
A quick trick to figure out your undertone is to look at the veins on your wrist.
If they appear more bluish, you likely have a cool undertone. If they look greenish, your undertone is warm.
If you can't quite determine the undertone, you might have a neutral undertone.
The Reds for Warm Undertones
If you have warm undertones, consider yourself lucky because you can rock a wide range of red shades!
Opt for red lipsticks with warm undertones themselves. Think corals, brick reds, and orangey-reds. These hues will complement your warm complexion beautifully and add a touch of radiance to your look.
A shade like our Gloria lipstick, Charon or Cita liquid matte, Yolonda or Niyah lipgloss might just become your new go-to. Tons of options.
Cool Undertones and the Perfect Reds
For those with cool undertones, your red lipstick journey takes you towards blue-based reds.
These shades will harmonize with your cool complexion, creating a striking contrast that's both bold and sophisticated.
Our lippies in shades: Cita or Shaneak liquid matte, Niyah lipgloss, Flossie (returning soon), will bring out the natural coolness in your skin and give you that enviable pop of color.
Neutrals Play Well with Both Worlds
Neutral undertones give you the flexibility to experiment with a wide spectrum of red shades.
Go for classic true reds that are neither too warm nor too cool.
A shade like Shirley or Flossie (returning soon) will provide the perfect balance and make your lips the focal point of your makeup look.
The Final Verdict
Choosing the right red lipstick based on your skintone is all about enhancing your natural beauty.
Whether you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones, there's a red out there that's just waiting to make you feel fabulous.
So, next time you're getting ready to rock that red lip, keep your skintone in mind.
Remember, it's not just about the color; it's about the confidence it brings to your stride.
Go on, embrace the power of red, and let your lips steal the show!
Much love 💋,
