“Heels and red lipstick will put the fear of God into people.” – Dita Von Teese
Women with light skins look best in light and bright red lipsticks. Lipstick colours will suit you or not depending on your skin tone. Many red lipsticks are available on the market. An image consultant helps in providing tips for your best red lipstick colour. Red lipstick colours vary in tints and shades.
Deep red lipstick looks best on medium to dark skinned women. The dark red colour is congruent with the dark skin tone. According to colour psychology, dark colours may represent femininity and power.
People with darker skin can look good with both deep and bright red lipsticks depending on their undertone. Undertone is the pigment in your skin. Bright red lipstick colours may complement and display elegance to some darker skin tones.
Skin undertone is the main factor to consider when choosing a red lipstick. Undertone or your skin's pigments affects your overall skin tone. You can have a cool undertone, warm undertone or neutral undertones. Here are some tips:
Applying a very light layer of a red lipstick first is the best way to tell if you suit your red lipstick. If it has a pink look to it then it is most likely a cool toned red which suits cool undertoned skin. Warm reds include brick reds, coral or peach reds and fire engine red colours. Moana Robinson can provide more tips on how to look your best wearing red lipsticks.
Remember that the right red lipstick has something to do with your skin undertone. Otherwise, the result looks different from what you expected. Things to remember:
A neutral undertone is your underneath skin colour having the same colour as your skin surface. Take note that your undertone is not the same as your skin tone. Skin tone is the colour of your naked skin. People with neutral skin whether they have dark skin or light skin can wear blue-based or yellow/orange-toned red lipsticks.
Image consultants like Moana always ask their clients to remove the makeup before using the colour swatch. A Colour swatch is a palette tool that contains a variety of shades for each colour. At the consultation you receive your own personalised colour swatch which contains approxiamtely 50 different colours to suit your hair, skin and eyes. The colour swatch comes with a handy purse and a detailed booklet which Moana goes through in details so that you understand why you suit certain colours and may not suit other colours. In the meantime take this quiz which Moana has developed to find out your undertone.
Classic red is the safest to suit most people. Beauticians and image consultants recommend this type of red lipstick for beginners. Hydrating and long-wearing "classic" red lipsticks are convenient for more women.
