A red lipstick looks great on everyone.  Nevertheless, many women just do not know how to choose the right lipstick shade. When the holiday season starts rolling around, red is the natural color that women go for.

A red lipstick could be matched with red top, a smashing red dress or a hint of red in a piece of jewelry or a pair or red shoes. It is vital to consider your skin tone when choosing a red shade. For a very fair skin, pinkish red or rose is better compared to those with peach undertones or coral. Medium tones look  great on wider range of  reds while olive skin look wonderful in fire-engine red lipstick along with dark berry  reds.

The color of your hair also plays a major role in choosing the lipstick red of your choice. For green or blue eyes, consider a red hue with blue undertone. Hazel eyes look great in warmer red and for those with light eyes as well. True, bright red is perfect for dark brown eyes. Moreover, your lipstick should complement your outfit nicely. Consider the amount of red you are wearing. The less red you wear, the bolder and brighter your lipstick should be. If your attire is almost completely red, consider a muted red shade or a softer hue.
