Fall is now here, and you know what that means, time for holidays, festivities, and bold lipstick colors! One staple that every girl should have in her makeup collection regardless if your collection is big or small is that classic red. Red is that color that says bold, brave, sexy, and confident. It can sometimes be tricky because red has so many different shades and undertones, but as long as you know your specific undertone then you can easily pull it off without any problems.

Skin tone: Fair

Fair skin tones can pull off reds with light or dark pink undertones. It also complements fair skin by not overpowering the face.

Skin tone: Medium

If you have a warm golden undertone then go ahead and pull out those red lipsticks with those bold orange undertones. It is the perfect shade to bring in the fall.

Skin tone: Coco

When it comes to darker complexion girls they tend to sometimes struggle finding their “perfect” red shade. We tend to go for brighter reds rather than darker. For darker complexions we need to go for reds with blue or purple undertones. Revlon’s Spicy Cinnamon is a great red that complements our skin tones best and it is drugstore so it’s affordable.

 

So regardless of your complexion go ahead and find that shade that works for you and get your Ruby Woo on because nothing is sexier than a women with a fierce red lip, and high confidence.
