The red lipstick you need

Which red lipstick to adopt and how to wear it well? We take stock.

A bit like nude lipstick, red lipstick is a classic, timeless and universal... It sublimates all skin tones with a clever blend of elegance and sensuality. It is often the first lipstick that we buy. It accompanies us at every key moment of our existence: girls' night out, professional interview, appointment for Valentine's Day... There is no doubt that red lipstick is timeless. This lipstick should be in every vanity. But if red suits all skin tones, the different shades (orange, pink, etc.) will allow the undecided to decide.

How to wear red lipstick?

The importance of the finish

Red lipstick has the advantage of waking up a sober outfit or minimalist makeup. To vary the effect, we focus on the finish. If worn matte or powdered, the result will be sophisticated. Shiny or glossy, it makes the lips plump. Let’s also not forget the glittery red launched by star makeup artist Pat McGrath, couture effect.

The case of nuance

There are a multitude of shades of red lipsticks, from the lightest to the darkest. But overall, they are divided into two categories. Those with cold undertones (pulling towards blue, purple or pink like cherry, raspberry etc.) and those with warm undertones (pulling towards orange, yellow, coral etc.). Often, depending on our skin tone, hair color and iris, one of the two colors suits us better. Test to make sure!
