Now that Christmas is upon us be bold and festive with fabulous red lips!
This may sound quite scary for some but choose a red to suit your skin tone and you’ll be mistletoe ready.
1. Determine your skin tone
Go outside into natural daylight and look at the veins on the underside of your wrist.
Blue veins = cool undertone
Green veins = warm undertone
Mix of blue/green = neutral undertone
If you’re still not sure check your jewellery box…
When silver jewellery looks great on you it’s likely you have a cool undertone.
If gold suits you better, you most probably have a warm undertone.
2. Pick your shade of red
Cool undertone = blue-based red eg. crimson or cranberry. Avoid warm pinks.
Warm undertone = orange-based red eg. coral or tangerine. Use a sheer glossy colour for a subtler look.
Neutral undertone = You lucky thing! You can wear whatever tone you like.
3. Apply your perfect red
Always line your lips with a similar red lip liner.
To make your lipstick last longer fill in your lips.
Apply your red lipstick with a lip brush.
Blot with a tissue and apply a second layer.
4. Give your lips centre stage
To make the most of your red lips keep eye makeup minimal and skin flawless.
