Red lips will always be in style. They can be sported any season, any time, and any occasion. They’re classy, yet sexy. Bold, yet demure. Mature, yet youthful. The trick to rocking red lipstick is finding the perfect shades that work for your skin tone. The worst fashion faux paux is wearing a shade of lipstick that isn’t flattering to your skin tone. So read up on this guide and be sure to experiment with the shade that best fits you!
Fair Skin– Those with paler skin tend to look better in tones that are blue-red based. These types of reds don’t wash out lighter skin tones, but instead, create contrast and create a dramatic, yet flattering look. Try Mac’s Matte Russian Red shade for $16.00

Medium to Olive Skin– Orangey reds look best on those with medium to olive-colored skin. Corals or red-oranges are especially flattering for women who fall under this category. Try Nars Heat Wave for $26.00

Dark Skin– Bright, true reds work well on those with darker skin. Dark-skinned women have the liberty to experiment with very pigmented lipstick, and can pull off just about any bright red shade with ease. Try Yves Saint Laurent “Rouge in Danger” for $35.00
