How to Find the Right Red Lipstick for Your Skin ToneRed Lipstick

While we all fantasize about sultry red lips, a bright red lipstick will work better on some complexions than on others. Finding the right red lipstick shade for your skin tone might seem a bit of a challenge. Learn how to choose the best red lipstick for your skin tone.

Best Red Lipsticks for Fair Skin
If you've got a peaches and cream complexion, you should go for a matte red lipstick with orange undertones, such as NARS Lipstick in Red Lizard. For fair skin with yellow undertones, a warm brick lipstick shade is a better choice. Our pick: Covergirl - Continuous Color Lipstick in Warm Brick.

Best Red Lipsticks for Beige Skin
Looking for the best red lipstick for your skin tone? The most flattering red lipstick choice for beige or ivory skin is a dark red with gold undertones, such as NYX Black Label Lipstick in Black Cherry. This shade is a nice fit for all skin tones, in fact. If you've got a beige complexion and blue eyes, you can easily pull off a bright orange lipstick, which might look less flattering on other skin tones. Our pick: Revlon Colorburst in Coral.
