How to choose the perfect red lipstick
We bring tips how to choose the perfect shade of red lipstick.
Although it is often said that red lipstick is perfect for everyone, in practice it is sometimes really difficult to find the ideal shade. While this intense color can fantastically highlight the trump cards of the face, choosing the wrong shade will have the exact opposite effect that discouraged many from intending to apply lipstick in their favorite color. But the search for the ideal shade requires a little preparation, given that each skin undertone tolerates a certain shade, and the same goes for tooth color. Below we bring you a little guide to help you find the ideal red rose.
Lipstick should highlight your white teeth
First of all, it is important to think about the color of the teeth, given that red lipstick can further emphasize the yellowness and even create a false effect of yellow teeth. Such problems will be solved by cherry-colored lipstick, which will, thanks to the creation of contrast, neutralize the yellowness. A great choice will be the coral red one, as well as lipsticks with a gloss that will create the effect of bright white teeth by reflecting light from the lips.
Find out what skin tone you have
There are four different skin undertones: olive, yellowish, pink, and neutral. The most grateful is the neutral one, which will look great with lipsticks in all shades, and people with other undertones will still need to invest some time until they find the ideal shade for themselves. You will most easily recognize the pink undertone if you have an extremely light path, as well as towards the veins on the wrist of the hand, which are usually purple or blue, while in the case of the yellow undertone they are completely green. People with an olive undertone, whose veins on their hands are also green, have darker skin and easily achieve a tan.
Olive undertone
People with an olive skin undertone of skin will prefer coral shades, as well as all those that draw on the orange color. Here it is important to keep in mind to narrow the choice of lipsticks to those with warm tones, and a great choice will be bright red shades.
Pink undertone
The best choices for people with a pink undertone are those that will emphasize the naturalness of the complexion, and these are all those cooler shades, with a purple or blue base. People with a pink undertone usually have an extremely light complexion.
