Yes, you can buy me love! What’s lovelier than the colour red? Makes you think about love, hearts, Chinese New Year….unless of course you are thinking about lipstick or lingerie. Red can be worn year round, not just on holidays.
If it’s a red lipstick you are after follow our tips on skin tones to select the one that will get your heart (or his) beating faster.
If it’s a red lipstick you are after follow our tips on skin tones to select the one that will get your heart (or his) beating faster.
The first thing you need to do is to decide if your skin tone is warm or cool.
The best way to do this is by looking at the inside of your wrist. What do you see? Are your blue/pink or olive/tan? This really is the most important part to get right because wearing a warm lipstick on a cool person will make your skin sallow and wearing a cool lipstick on a warm person will make you look pale.
Testing lipsticks on your lips is hard work when the colour is such a strong colour like red or fuchsia. Each time you take it off there will be residue on your lips or your skin. The key is to test your lipstick on the tips of your fingers. The colour of your fingertips is close to your lips and you will be able to look at a few of different colours at a time. Then just put your finger up to your lips and voila! Hot lips!
If you are one of those women who find red lipstick a hard buy then you need to try, try and try again. Whether you think it doesn’t suit you or consider it too strong think about what Giorgio Armani Beauty’s national face designer Vanessa D’ Ambrosio said: ‘Red suits all complexions. It’s the ultimate symbol of feminine glamour, power and ability, this is why it has never, and will never fall from fashion.
Woman often shy away from drawing too much attention to their features and think they must have confidence to pull off the red lip, when in actual fact red gives you confidence”
