Rock Out With Red Lips

Scarlet lips always shine on the red carpet, but this bold hue can be worn by almost everyone, not just celebs. Your look gets insta-glam with a crimson kisser. We picked the right reds for every skin tone. Oh-so-pretty in seconds.

 
Light Skin
Fair-skinned femmes should stick with reds with brown (or blue-ish) undertones to compliment naturally cool skin.

Medium Skin
Naturally tan? Choose a rich red that are drenched in tawny or golden tones. (Psst: They help play up green eyes, too. Amazing!)
Mary Kay Creme Lipstick in Sunset, $13, MaryKay.com
Dark Skin
Reds that have pretty pink or orange undertones look amazing with dark skin. Lotsa contrast between your face and kisser means extra drama—the good kind!

Our best-ever red lipstick tips:
If ya swipe on red and it looks a li’l too bold, blot with a tissue and add a clear gloss to get sheer shine.

Keep eyeshadow soft and neutral if you rock a red pucker.

Not sure if you’ve picked the right shade? Apply and look in the mirror. If it makes you smile, you’re golden. If not, keep tryin’ until you find your ultimate hue.
