Red lips can be super intimidating. Here is a quick and easy guide to the rules of wearing red lipstick.

1) There isn’t ONE perfect shade of red for every woman – There are so many gorgeous shades suitable for every skin tone. Try a few out and see which one works best with your skin tone.

2) Never wear red with heavy makeup – When wearing red the rest of our makeup pallet should be understated and super-casual.

3) It’s okay to dump the matching lip pencil – a more modern approach to wearing red is to build color by using a lip brush or just your finger tip.

4) Keep your options open try out some different textures of red, there are glosses, stains, tints, glazes, matte, sheer and shimmers.
