Red lips, Red dress: Get the look with some beauty advice on how to go matchy-matchy like a pro.
Red lips, red dress! You’ve seen it on the red carpet, but how can you make it work off of it? See our tips below on how to pick the right shade and rock your all over red look.
Shade: First, consider your skin color and tone. This hugely affects the way the red will look in different lights on your face. If you have a darker complexion, consider darker, deeper reds in brick or burgundy shades. If you’re fair-skinned, lean towards cool-colored reds in crimson. For women with medium skin with an olive or yellow tone, a bold, fire engine red is ideal.
Application: Companies like NARS have developed long-lasting lipstick pencils that make application easy. But if you’re using a a classic tube, first apply the red lipstick to your lips from the tube itself, without using any lip liner. If you want to ensure longer lasting red and prevent bleeding or smudging, line your lips with a nude lip pencil. This color must blend into your skin completely.
Neutral Makeup: To avoid looking too overdone, consider using minimal eye makeup and blush. Let the red really shine! Simple done well is the classiest way to wear red.
The Dress: If you’re going to wear red lips with a red dress, do your best to find reds that match each other. It will be a show stopping, impressive look if you execute it properly!
