Do you know that men are more attracted to women who wear red lipstick? It’s also a very easy way for one to glam up a look. Prepare yourself for Valentine’s Day by arming yourself with sizzling hot lips in red.
Before you head off to get a red lipstick from the beauty counters, check out this guide to find out which shade of red works best on you.
If you have fair skin with peach/pink undertones…
Blue toned reds would look best on you. And this can range from really bright, to dark and vampy reds.

Your red lip colour: For the look above, try M.A.C’s lipstick in Ruby Woo. But, if you’ve read our article on our favourite Taylor looks from her 1989 album (Read this: 7 Looks We Love on Taylor Swift for the 1989 Album), she has on a dark red lipstick with a more dramatic eye look. For darker red lips, try M.A.C’s Russian Red.
If you have fair skin with yellow undertones…
Whip out the coral or orange-based red lip colours!

If you have medium skin…
Dark red that are warm-toned will look great on you. For brighter red lips, bear in mind that they will look incredibly bright and loud against your skin tone. So, be sure to have the eye makeup to match!

If you have dark skin…
Opt for a warm, brick shade of red as that would complement your skin best. Using a bright orange, or a blue toned red can end up looking too overpowering.
