Choosing the right red lipstick depends on matching it to your skin tone and undertone for a flattering, confidence-boosting finish.

Determine your undertone first: cool undertones (blue or pink hues, often in fair skin) shine with blue-based or berry reds like cherry or crimson. Warm undertones (golden or peachy, common in olive or medium skin) pair beautifully with orange-reds, coral, or brick shades. Neutral undertones offer versatility across true reds, while deeper skin tones can rock bold, pigmented reds from vibrant scarlet to rich burgundy.

Pro tip: test shades in natural light and consider finishes—matte for classic boldness or glossy for modern sheen—to find your signature red lipstick that complements every complexion.
