Few tips to understand which red will suit your skin tone
The best way to find the perfect red shade is not with the lips, but your skin’s undertone. Basically undertones are classified into three types, warm, cool, and neutral. Peach, yellow, and golden undertones are examples of warm undertones while Sallow skin is common in people with warm undertones. Pink and bluish undertones are examples of cool undertones.
Here are a few tips that will help you determine your right shade:
- Blue-based red colours are ideal for cooler complexion tones. Applying a small layer first will help you identify if your red lipstick is cool-toned. If it appears rosy, it is most likely a cool colour.
- Warm reds include golden or peach undertones. Since both colours emit an orangish light, it does not overpower warm skin tones and complements it.
- Neutral-toned people get the perfect combination since they can wear blue-based as well as peach-toned reds. Which is why a classic red provides a middle ground that suits neutral tones.
