The Perfect Red Lips for Fall

As I mentioned before, red lipstick is making a big, bold, sexy comeback for Fall. Don't be afraid. The key is to take it on and experiment to find the perfect shade for your skin tone. One key to remember is that orange-reds work best on fair to light skin tones. Blue-reds are perfect for medium to dark tones. I found one lipstick that works well for most skin tones; Mac Viva Glam I. It's a mixture of orange and blue-red, and seems to be mainly universal.

Always keep in mind that when doing a serious red lip, keep the eyes to a minimum. It's perfectly okay to outline your eyes for definiton, but do not go smokey. A basic rule of thumb is when the lips are heavy in color, the eyes should be soft; and vice versa for the eyes. When you are doing a heavy smokey eye, go soft on the lip color. Now there are always exceptions, but if you are a novice when it comes to make-up follow the basic guidelines...
