Choosing the right shade

Let us now give a makeup guide on selecting the perfect red lipstick for your skin tone and undertone.

To assess your skin's undertone, follow this simple tip. Look at the veins on your wrist. If you have a warm undertone, your veins will be green in colour, for those cooler undertones, the veins are blue. For those with a neutral undertone, veins will be between the 2 shades.

• Fair Skin with Cool Undertone: A dark burgundy or berry shade will complement your skin tone well. They will make your lips pop while also making your teeth appear whiter.
• Fair Skin with Warm or Neutral Undertone: You should try fiery red with orange undertones if you have fair skin with a warm or neutral undertone.
• Dusky or Medium Skin with Cool Undertone: You can play around with red lipstick with a blue or pink undertone.
• Dusky or Medium Skin with Warm or Neutral Undertone: You can try various shades for a glamorous look. Warm and true red will bring out your glow, while red with a cool tone will add a pop of vibrancy to the look.
• Deep or Dark Skin with a Cool Undertone: You can lean towards maroon or with blue bases or try vine red or purple undertones to bring out your skin's natural glow.
• Deep or Dark Skin with a Warm or Neutral Undertone: Try to play around with brick-red tones for a flattering look. You can add an extra element of pizazz with orange-red tones.
