The Best (and Worst) Red Lips for Every Skin ToneWe paired the most popular, iconic red lip colors with some expert advice from celebrity makeup artists to find the perfect hues |
The Right Red Lips for Warm, Fair Skin If you have golden tones in your hair, celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes recommends "going a little more coral-red to bring warmth to your coloring." But, be warned: "Do NOT go orange, ever," Barnes adds. Orange lipstick, while trendy and eye-catching, makes your teeth look yellow.
Emily Loved: Merle Norman Age Defying+ Lipcolor in Americana, $15. "I LOVE this blue-red. It's the shade I think of when I think of a true red lipstick. This shade feels classic and iconic, and the blue of the lipstick makes my teeth look white!"
Not So Much: "I tried a coral red, (Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra in Flame, $22.50) but I just couldn't get over the orangey-ness of it. It felt comfortable, because it's less 'look at me,' but it wasn't the red I'm looking for."
