Hi friends! Choosing the right red lipstick can feel overwhelming, especially with so many shades out there.
So here's a little guide based on skin undertones β just something to help you find the red that suits you best when you're shopping!
But before applying any matte liquid lipstick, don't forget to prep your lips! I like to use a bit of Aquaphor or a lip oil beforehand, then gently blot off any extra to keep my lips soft and smooth.
π΄ Understanding Undertones:
- Warm red shades usually complement warm skin tones.
- Cool red shades tend to flatter cool-toned skin.
π A Few of My Favorite Reds:
1. Makeup Revolution β "Lure Red"
A cool-toned red in liquid form β great if you're into bold, crisp colors.
2. Makeup Revolution β "Ruby"
Also a cool red, but in a solid stick form. Super easy to apply!
3. Fenty Beauty β "Uncensored"
This one's a cool-toned matte liquid lipstick. It's rich, pigmented, and always makes a statement.
4. Beauty Creations x Luis Torres β (unnamed shade)
Another cool-toned matte liquid β and honestly, my top pick right now! I'm wearing it in the first picture if you're curious.
5. Morphe β "Tease"
A warm-toned lipstick with a slight orange tint. I believe this one's discontinued, but it's a nice example of how pretty warm reds can be.
6. NYX β "Rebel in Red"
A warm matte liquid lipstick that really lasts. Perfect for all-day wear.
π¬ Just a note:
You don't have to stick to one tone β it's all about what you like and feel good wearing. Think of this as friendly advice to help you on your lipstick journey!
