Each girl’s wardrobe should have classic beige boats and a black sheath dress. In cosmetics, red lipstick is always needed. This is a universal color, appropriate in the evening look, and on a date, and even at a business meeting. It suits everyone, but only if you choose the right shade and texture.

How to choose a red lipstick

To find the perfect color, evaluate 2 parameters of your appearance:

• Color type. Cold for owners of pink skin: the veins on the wrist are blue or purple. Buy shades with a pink / blue nuance: raspberry, lingonberry. Warm – if they give away green. Often in the latter case, there are golden freckles on the face and body. You need coral, tangerine, brick.
• Contrast. The highest – with fair skin and black hair. Low – for natural blondes, African-American women. The higher this parameter, the brighter you can wear lipstick. To identify it, swipe the lipstick on your hand and rub the trace.

In addition to the classic color, there are other shades of red lipsticks:

• Warm. Carrot, brick, coral. “Pull” the blue from the eyes, emphasize brown iris. Suitable for red-haired girls and brown-haired women, they look beautiful with a tan. Important: warm tones of red may yellow teeth.
• Cold. Lingonberry, raspberry, cherry – the difference in the proportion of pink pigment. All these shades are suitable only for owners of pale or barely tanned skin. Blue and green eyes beautifully emphasize, do not combine with red hair. Visually whiten teeth.
• Deep. Plum, burgundy, wine (liquor). Dark tones, a combination of red with brown, purple. They give age, make lips smaller and are appropriate only in the evening out. Recommended for owners of dark skin and dark hair. With light create contrast, require active eye allocation.

Red lipsticks are classified and selected according to several signs:

• The finish. Matte visually reduces lips, but makes the color less vibrant and defiant. Glossy adds volume and attracts attention. Lipsticks with a metallic effect look creative, not always appropriate.
• Format. Spongeing up lips is easier than sticking (especially when the tip is worn off), but the shelf life of a liquid product is shorter, and the risk of getting an uneven coating is greater.
