A showstopping red can add that perfect rebellious touch to
a minimalist black dress, or bring an otherwise ordinary outfit from just cute
to downright chic! However, red is as temperamental as it is tempting to wear:
here are a few tips on how to master this lip shade!
1.
Unless you always have ridiculously white and
perfect teeth, do not pick shades of red that have orange hues in them: the
warm shades bring out any yellow present, resulting in a less than flattering
look. However, do not despair! You can still rock that classic shade of perfect
Parisian red: all you need is a lipstick with a cooler palette, with undertones
of blue. Blue brings out the white in teeth, so you can be confident in your
lovely smile.
2.
Try out different shades of red before
purchasing. If you would rather not use the in-store tester on your lips, there
are ways to get an accurate idea of how you would look wearing it: apply the
lipstick to the tip of your finger and squeeze your finger lightly from below
the applied portion.
3.
The type of lipstick you choose is also dictated
by your personal fashion preferences and lifestyle. Do you want high drama with
deeper/bolder shades or discreet elegance with more muted hues? High gloss or
hints of sparkle are definitely attention-grabbers, but if you want a more
versatile look, matte might be more appropriate.
If you wear lipstick religiously and
consider it a wardrobe staple of yours, or even if you just wear it
occasionally, you should consider opting for an organic lipstick. There are
multiple things to watch out for in the composition of your lipstick, all of
which will be discussed in a later blogpost.
Until next time,
The Rose
