When you look at a woman’s collection of lipsticks, you’ll always find a shade of red. That’s because it is an iconic beauty staple, it’s is versatile and perfect for any look that you’re going for. It’s also one of the best shades to shift from a summer red lipstick look to fall. You can make bold statements or add a sexy appeal to your outfit by donning one of your favourite shades of red!

Before diving into which red best suits your skintone, let’s talk about how to style that red lip look.

Tip #1: Conceptualize Your Look

Designing a red lipstick look is one of the most classic bold looks you can rock. But it can also go horribly wrong if you don’t execute it just right! Because of this, you need to know first what kind of look you are going for. There are different looks to choose from. You can go for a beach babe vibe or a sultry siren look for summer parties at the beach. Then when fall comes, you can go for the more subtle shades. There are many ways to go about this. You just need to have a clear understanding of what you want.  

Tip #2: Determine Your Undertone

Just like how you would choose the right foundation and concealer for your skin undertone, this is also crucial for selecting the appropriate red lipstick for you. This will be based on how warm or cool your skin undertone is. For those with cool pink undertones, you can choose bright red shades because they’ll complement your skin flawlessly. With warmer yellow undertones, you’ll need a medium to deeper reds to make the colour pop against your skin.

Tip #3: Don’t Go Overboard with the Eye Makeup

Since it is a red lipstick look, it is better to have less than more. One of the things that you can do for your eye makeup is to have the classic neat-winged eyeliner with a flick at the end. Avoid smokey eyes and just use a few coats of mascara because they are enough to bring out your look. The red lipstick will also be the “wow” factor you’re looking for, so there is no need to invest in extravagant eyeshadow looks.

Tip #4: Blushes Can Either Make or Break You

You don’t want the colour of your blush to clash with your red lipstick. You need to make sure to keep your blushes neutral. We suggest using poppy pink or coral tones for your blush application. Or, you can try blushes that are close to the shade of your skin for a more natural look.

Tip #5: Find the Right Shade

Now that you have some key tips in hand, it’s time to find the perfect shade to transition you from summer to the perfect fall look. To make it easy check out check out Shade M Beauty’s shades of red.

We’ve got Foxy matte liquid lipstick, a shade of red that’s not too bright and not too dark. The shade of red is similar to falling autumn leaves, perfect for this time of year. You can go for this if you want to be more lowkey with your shade of red.

Summer was all about being warm, tanned and relaxed, which is why many often used our Red Hot Lipstick because of its attention-grabbing look. But, for fall, we personally love Nar, which is close to burgundy and makes you think of the dark liquid of maple syrup.
