How to find the right red lipstick for you!

Can't find the right red lipstick for you?

Something that you should know: first is that if your skin is on the warmer side of shades, for example olive, tanned and any shade of brown, warmer lipstick shades are known to suit because of the pigmentation and it goes together so that it doesn't clash- and the last thing you want from a red lipstick if for it to clash!
Whereas if your on the pale side like me! Cooler shades are known to suit best.

Don't fret: If you have pale skin for example, it doesn't mean that you wouldn't suit warmer shades and if you have darker skin, it doesn't mean that you wouldn't suit cooler shades. But if you're looking for the red shade for you, then you should

                                                                                                        bare this in mind. :)

                                                                                            So:                                                                                     

                                                                                                             You must remember this!

Warmer Shades- Orangey-yellow undertones.

                                                                                          Cooler shades- Blueish undertones.

Here show to:                             

Heres what I call the brickish type of red, it's described as "
Brownish orange-red" and the perfect example of that is M.A.Cs Lipstick in
'Chilli' - It's a red with brown and orange undertones which is in the warmer range of reds.
                                                                                                                

 

Next heres what i'd call the classic red and my idea of this is the red lipstick that has been going for yonks! As you can tell in picture Kate Moss is wearing the perfect example of it- It's a basic red but with orange undertones so this stunner is in the warmer range of reds. Lipstick- Rimmel the Kate Moss collection in shade 01.                                             

 

Next up is the basic red, the red that isn't really a warm or cool shade... so pretty much the neutral red! This fantastic red is made to suite absolutely anyone! Which is why I love it so much, and the perfect example of this is- Maybelline red revival lipstick

Now we're coming up to the cooler shades, the red lipsticks with the blueish undertones. I like to call these the cherry reds. Described as "Vivid bright bluish-red"

A good example of this gorgeous shade is- MACs red. It's a real blue-toned red and is beautifully cherry looking.

 

I call this next shade a ruby red, and in my opinion this is a true ruby red lipstick, blue undertoned and pink overtoned which is- 17 Lasting fix lipstick in both showcase and showbiz. They are both very similar but showbiz is darker.( Not the shade in the picture though.) v

 

And finally it's the darker sides of red(or evil if you perfer..) but it certainly looks stunning! This can be either cool or warm toned as theres dark undertones which cover it up anyway. This is described on MACs website as "Intense brownish blue-red". Anyone can pull this one off, and a perfect example of this is- MACs Viva glam 1. It's like a dark neutral...

So that's it as far as i'm concerned! Theres soo many reds to choose from and hopefully by my help, you'll find it easier :) If some of these are out of your price range, don't worry your cotton socks off, just type in dupes(duplicate/meaning copy) of ...and then the shade above, for example: Dupes of viva glam 1 and there should be dupes for that shade available from other brands. Hope this helped :) smiles :) xx
