LIPSTICK 101: red lippie edition

Hi guys I'm super obsessed with lipstick so I decided to add lipstick 101 where you'll learn about the latest color trends (for your lips of course) ,lipstick tips, & more. So let's get right into it! I know a lot of you guys are pretty scared of [dramatic pause] the classic red lip! Just keep calm guys it's not a horror film all it takes is the right shade for you skin tone.

Cool Toned Reds = blue based reds
These work best for my ladies with cool rosy like undertones !

Fav cool tone lipstick:

Maybelline ColorSensational Lipcolor, Very Cherry 635
Rimmel Londons Kate 01 
Side note: I have to mix these with other lipsticks to make it look decent on me because I'm not cool toned

Warm Toned Reds = yellow based reds (red-orange) 

These work best for yellow undertones! So for my ladies with a beige or medium skin tone this is for you . Tip* btw you can wear pretty much any red ;) lucky you! 

Future warm tone lipstick :
MAC Lipstick Lady Danger 
ughh I look at makeup tutorials on this lipstick everyday and still have yet to purchase it but just wait I'll get it soon! 

Deep Reds = plums & wine reds 
These work best for darker skin tones since brighter reds can come off as harsh! But in all honestly I think my hot chocolate ladies can get away with a warm orange red with a brown lip liner and you'll be good to go! 

Fav deep red lipstick : (runs to makeup box) 

NYX Matte MLS07 Alabama

WET & WILD C918D

Side note: I wear these in the winter since I'm a yellow undertone but for my dark tones knock yourself out!

Neutral Reds = lies b/t cool & warm 

So your wondering where am I going with this right? Well... Lol ;) pretty much any and everyone can rock the neutral red! It's pretty much a true red not too bright not too dark. No pink tints or orange.

Fav Neutral Red :

MAC Lipstick Ruby Woo

Side note: seriously you're crazy if you don't own this already. For fair skin use red lip liner medium/dark use brown lip liner . This lipstick is pretty matte so if you're not a fan of matte use a moisturizing balm before applying .
