How to Wear Red Lipstick
Every woman should see red once in her lifetime. This summer, perhaps fueled by celebs like Claire Danes wearing a fiery pout, we're seeing plenty of red puckers. But don't even consider jumping from a pale pink lip to a vermillion smirk without some practice. The best colors for amateurs are ones that are semi-sheer like Flaming Dust by Nars ($23; sephora.com). Another easy way to try red is a pearlized rosy-red hue like Lorac's Nibblin ($18.50; sephora.com). Medium to dark skin tones should opt for warm orange or brown-based reds. Fair women look best in colors with cool undertones, like blue and pink. Also, be sure to line lips with a nude pencil first, as red pigment can bleed into lip lines and cause clown grin. Once you're ready for the big league, pick up Chanel's Rouge Allure in Lover, ($29; sephora.com). Got a style challange? E-mail me at Monica.Corcoran@Variety.com.
