Have you always wanted to wear red lipstick but could never find the right colour lipstick or maybe never have the confidence?

Well then this time of year is a perfect time to start!!

Firstly, you need to know the undertones of your skin, the underlying colours in your skin tone. This is important as a lot of red lipstick has underlying tones also and this way you can choose a lipstick that will match your skin.

Once you know what skin tone you have you can then match up to your lip stick.

The following are some red shades of lipstick and the matching skin tones…

• Blue/Red – this shade is for somebody with pale/blueish undertones in their skin

• Orange/Red – this shade is for somebody with sallow undertones in their skin

• Pink/Red – this shade is for somebody with peachy undertones in their skin

• Brown/Red – this shade is for somebody with darker undertones in their skin

• Yellow/Red – this shade is for somebody with orange undertones in their skin.

If you are unsure about what skin tone you are, what not ask a member of staff at your local day spa.

So get shopping for your festive red lipstick!!
