Want to feel that alluring dynamism but can’t get the grasp of it? Want to be a synonym of glamour and elegance? A red lipstick can flatter your complexion in a way no other can. Red lipstick has long been a symbol of magnificence, splendour and sophistication. From day to day routine to any important event, red can pull off the look. But choosing one is where it gets serious. While choosing a perfect red colour, one must consider following:
Consider Your Undertone
While putting that red shade on to pull off the look of a diva but miserably failed? Well, the problem is not in you or your face but the choice of colour hue you’ve made. One must consider her skin tone and pick the red accordingly. Fair skin with a cool undertone, a raspberry lip-colour complements your feature very well. A deep red can bring warmth and radiance to golden skin tones. So, make your choice wisely while shopping.
Pick A Formula
Once you have found the one which complements you best, it’s time to pick whether you want to use liquid, matte, satin or shine…satin gives a glossy finish and gives a very smooth look, while matte is on drying edge. So, choose the formula which better suits your lips.
