If you have fair skin, try a sheer red lipstick with a blue undertone. For medium or olive skin, opt for a warm brick red. If your skin is dark, apply a shade of Bordeaux. To make the look modern, avoid lipliner. Instead, use a lip brush or a sponge-tip applicator. Apply colour just inside the natural lip line to ensure it stays put. To soften the intensity of any red shade, dab sheer gloss overtop. For a girlish flair, keep the rest of your makeup minimal.
