About to buy a red lipstick for Valentine’s Day? Will you be able to choose the right shade according to your complexion? Here is the method to choose the shade of red for your lipstick according to the color of your complexion.
Now that you know how to have beautiful lips for Valentine’s Day, you must then choose your lipstick for D-Day. A real essential in your makeup bag, red lipstick is the most timeless shade and sensuality that exists, perfect for Valentine’s Day. It is one of the shades that sublimates all skin tones: from the lightest to the darkest. This is THE go-everywhere shade to wear for a romantic evening. However, red comes in several shades: cherry, vermilion, purple or burgundy. There are many shades and each of them more or less flatters a skin tone.
As when looking for your blush color, to find the most appropriate shade of red for your complexion, you must first think about your skin undertones. And for that, you have to rely on the color of your veins. If you have purple or bluish veins, your undertone is rather cool. Green and olive colored veins correspond to warm undertones. A mixture of the two (purple and green veins) indicates a neutral undertone. The idea is to stay within the colors of your undertone.
Shades of red for cool undertones
The most flattering shades for these undertones are cold and darker reds, with bluish undertones: fuchsia, purple, raspberry red or burgundy.
Shades of red for warm undertones
Skin tones with the warmest undertones can afford lighter and more orange colors such as coral, vermilion or fiery red.
Shades of red for neutral undertones
Regarding the neutral undertones, these are the luckiest: they can afford to put the orange colors as the most bluish. Because they are at the meeting of the two, they can afford everything (band of lucky.es)!
