Choosing the right red lipstick shade can make a significant difference in your makeup look. The key is to match the red hue with your skin tone. Celebrity makeup artist Amy Rostas from Cult Beauty provides expert advice on selecting the perfect red lipstick based on your complexion.
For individuals with fair skin, Amy recommends choosing a red lipstick that complements the natural flush tones of the skin. Those with cooler undertones should opt for red lipsticks with cool-hued blues and purples, while individuals with warmer undertones should go for shades with an orange undertone, such as tomato red.
Medium skin tones offer a broader spectrum for experimentation with red lipsticks. Blue-toned reds and warmer versions both suit this skin tone well. However, lipsticks with a coral tint may dull the complexion, especially for those with cooler undertones. Rust red, copper, and brick shades are ideal for enhancing medium skin tones.
Deeper complexions have the freedom to explore a wide range of red lipstick shades. From muted, orange-y hues to bold and bright brick tones, red lipsticks can vary in undertones, textures, and finishes to complement dark skin tones.
