Red lipsticks always come handy as they are classic, stylish and very versatile and the following guidelines will definitely help you get over any apprehension that you have when you wear them.

The first thing to consider when you wear a red lipstick is the time of the day or the lighting around you. It is advisable that you pick a soft or sheerer shade when you are outdoors. In order to make your features stand out, you should choose bolder colors in the evenings. Red lipsticks which have a deep color tend to make your lips appear smaller and are an absolute no for all of you who have thin lips.

For those who have a strong natural coloring, intense shades of red would be a more viable option. Poppy King, who is among the better known lipstick designer, suggests that red lipsticks should always be paired with a light eye make-up. You can also try to smear a little lipstick on the apples of your cheeks to coordinate your look.

For best results, avoid red lip liner. You should go for a lip liner which is closest to your natural lip color. The application of concealer prevents bleeding around the border of your mouth. Right after applying, put your finger in your mouth and tighten your lips around it, then gently pull it out to do away with excess color. This will help to prevent lipstick getting on your teeth.
