Apparently red lipstick is the shade this winter. I always follow the make up must-haves but im really stuck on this one. My skin tone is about kelly rowlands or june sarpongs and my lips are full. What shade of red would you recommend?? I live in london by the way...
thanx xxx

It's all about experimenting. and test them before you buy them! :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

Keep it simple and you will wow everyone in the room! Also don't forget lip liner can also help improve the look of the lips. This is a personal choice but if you do decide to use it, avoid using a dark shade as when the lipstick fades you will be left with just the outline. And this is one faux pas you might want to steer clear of. If you do decide to use a lip brush for application then this will also help to blend the lipstick in with the liner.
If you have dark skin tones, then consider red and plum based colours rather than lipstick with pink tones. Peach tones also look great with tanned skin but don't go too orange, as it will make your teeth appear yellow. Fair skin looks great with beige lipstick and if you have olive skin tones, you should try lipsticks with a brown base. [ missbananafontana's advice column | Ask missbananafontana A Question ]
