How to Find the Best Red
Red is an intense color. It screams for attention, but when the right shade is worn, it sings hallelujah and sends praises to the gods of beauty. With the sea of red that is out there, it’s quite difficult to point out which shade looks good on you. So here’s a quick guide to determining which red works best on your skin tone.
Warm skin tones, those with olive undertones, go well with dark shades of red- those with blue or brown undertones. These would be burgundy and berry, among many others.
Cool skin tones are often found among ladies with naturally light hair such as blondes. On the other hand, it can also be found among black haired women that have Snow White’s skin. Red lipstick with pink undertones work well on you.
Olive undertones are found among ladies with East Asian descent. You have a yellowish color which makes reds based on coral stand out.
Medium skin tones on brunettes also work well with pink or coral undertones. They bring out the subtle darkness to your complexion.
Lastly, if you're still confused as to what to wear, go for the true red. Think UK bus red, or fire engine red. For the faint-hearted, corals are fine. But take note that once you put it on, there's no turning back. So keep the lip gloss and the smokey eyes at bay because your lips are looking for attention.
