5 Best Red Lipsticks For Every Skintone

Fair/Ivory Complexion

If you have a cool undertone with a slightly pinkish hue, bright cherry reds should be your go to! A vibrant bright red will compliment the pink undertone in your skin to  make your skin glow and look luminous. Try out a matte finish lipstick to give your lips a more sultry finish. For those with a yellow/golden undertone, pick a warm red with a slightly maroon hint. A brick red shade is perfect with a low key makeup look with a little eyeliner.

Reds with a slightly berry undergone will look best with any makeup look.
