When it comes to red lipstick, finding the right shade is all about the undertones:
Fair-skinned girls should go for bright, blue-reds that really pop against their skin.
Medium toned girls should go for a warm red with a brown base, like a brick red.
Dark-skinned girls should opt for something with coral woven in to accentuate their beautiful coloring.
And always, always, always use a lipliner before you put on lipstick! It doesn't have to match your lipstick exactly, but some kind of a red base all over the lips (not just on the outside) will provide long-lasting coverage and help the color fade evenly instead of splotchy.
So here are my picks for fabulously red lips in ALL seasons, not just the holidays!
Fair-skinned:
