Help! I need to find the right shade of red lippy


question
I've noticed that the majority of my lipsticks are a brown shade. I'd like to wear something that has more red in it, but I feel like my choices are limited because anything I like is too bright. Should I just stick to wearing and buying lipsticks with brown undertones?

answer

If you feel that red is too dark, try a gloss. Gloss is great because it's a sheer version of the colours you want to wear. Also, soft pinks are a great way to brighten up your skin tone.

If you want to experiment with colours, your best bet is to go to the chemist and by some gloss palettes.

Revlon makes a few and Almay has some great colors in their Whipped Gloss line. It's a great way to be able to try the colours you want without it being a major investment.
