  Red lipstick remain the no. 1 versatile lipwear in fashion and seen it never goes out of style, it is a well known classic. Though most women feel they cannot pull it off,they are wrong. The secret to the right red is finding the one that suit your skin tone and not going overboard with the rest of your makeup.

  Rule No. 1: The secret lies in the rest
of your face
The paler the skin, the bigger the pop. If
you're going the red lips route, you're
going to have to stay light on the rest of
your makeup or risk looking like a clown.
Cameron Diaz made this fatal mistake
years ago at the 2007 Golden Globes.
Skip eyeliner and go only for mascara
(black for brunettes, brown for blondes
and redheads), making sure to apply to
bottom lashes, which will open up your
eyes. Dust face with powder and cheeks
with a soft blush .

 
  Rule No. 2: Line inside of lips
Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill in lips
with lip liner first, suggests makeup artist
Ashunta Sheriff in Harper's Bazaar.

  Rule No. 3: Don't let nails clash
No need to go matchy-matchy with red
nails and red lips. It's just a bit too
vampy. I prefer non-red nail polish when
you're going red on the lips. A clear
polish or light color is cool, and dark
polish is a trend that shows no sign of
going away anytime soon. If you want to
go red on the nails, make sure the color
matches your lips.

  Rule No. 4: Pick the right shade
There are all sorts of confusing rules
regarding choosing the right shade for
your skin tone. The magazine are always
suggesting tips such as "A real red with a
tiny bit of blue in it suits most people."
But how in the world can you tell if a red
color has a tiny bit of blue in it? Then
there's the advice that if your complexion
is pink, you'll look better in plum shades,
while girls with yellow tones are flattered
by warmer reds that have a brown base,
according to celebrity makeup artist
Jemma Kidd in Harper's. Huh? My
suggestion is to try a bunch of shades and
pick the one that looks best on you,
period. A gorgeous color on almost
everyone is MAC's "Blaze" pictured here.

  Rule No. 5: Choose lighter shades if
you are older
Our lips thin as we age and dark lips can
accentuate them. To keep lips from
looking too severe, try a rosy red or avoid
red lips altogether and opt for a neutral
shade, playing up your eyes instead.

  Rule No. 6: Blending is in
Few makeup artists stick to one shade of
any lipstick, they tend to blend a few to
create the perfect colors. If you've
bought a red lipstick shade that's too
bright, dark or whatever, don't throw it
away. Instead, experiment with other
lipstick shades you have on hand to create
the perfect shade of red.
