Let's talk about Red Lipstick

Everyone turned so gaga on the shade of Yaya Dub's lipstick last year. Red Lipstick! oh yes I definitely am a fan. Gone were the days when you wear that shade of lipstick and people will ask, "is she working in a bar?" haha. Perceptions changed and so the definition of a strong red lipstick.

Actually, red lipstick goes well with a morena skin. Light brown skin women can pull off dark reds and plum shades. These are the suitable complements that not only add glow to the golden undertones but also creates an attractive facial appearance. Know also how to make your eyes pop in connection to your lip color. Highlight your darker eyes to make them outstanding.

On the other hand, Dark brown skin is great when some deep reds or purplish nuances appear on the lips. The instant glamour can be created by application of a thick gloss in darker shade than your lips color.

Now, what are the best red lipstick that you can buy out there. Well, it depends on your budget as you will definitely see some good stuff in the mall but are so pricey. Of course, MAC is there as well as Revlon. Please see below list for your reference:

Even if you have the most expensive lipstick, you also have to determine and see for your self if it really looks good on you. As for myself? well I don't actually own any of the above lipsticks that I have mentioned. I am using a matte red lipstick which price is so reasonable but I ensure that it looks perfect on face. It's LA lipstick which you can buy on your desired mall.

I use the liquid type matte lipstick but please be informed that you have to use an oil based make-up remover to avoid being so messy when you remove it.

You'll apply it in liquid then it'll turn into that lovely red matte lipstick

And when I feel like not wanting to to apply the liquid type, I use the cream type with the shade of rebel/naughty :)

Anyhoo.. no matter what shade of lipstick you wear, make sure that you feel good and confident with it. Love it! Own it! and feel so damn beautiful with it.
