Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

SOS! Any suggestions for a red lipstick that won’t clash with my porcelain skin? I’m struggling to pick one, so any suggestions would be amazing! THANK YOUUUU! 💄💋

Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

I suggest Pretty Vulgars Bloodflower or Stilas Fiery! they both have blue undertones which don't bring out the pink in fairer skin and it makes your teeth looks super white!

Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

With porcelain skin you can get away with practically any darker red, as a heavy contrast  is quite flattering.  As you get into lighter shades it then helps to take your skintone into consideration, 

I’m not sure if others do this, but when choosing the most flattering red I look at the redness in people’s palms  as a guide and try to match it as closely as possible.  

Blood red looks good on everyone;)  MAC Ruby Woo is a cult classic for a reason.  @xteenab

Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

Bessame cosmetics. I saw someone else mention it. red velvet or victory red complement any skin tone very well! I don't wear any other brand. and I tend to be very fair skinned too. I think this is the victory red. side note...... besseme supplies the lipsticks Agent Carter wears in the Marvell series!!!!! and they are releasing a whole line for Agent Carter just like they did Snow White 😁😁

@Anonymous That is such a pretty color on you! I just added it to my loves list. 🙂

Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

I truly appreciate all the input from everyone! GREAT suggestions- thanks a million! xx 

Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

I'm fair too!  My all time fave reds are (in no special order):

- Laura Mercier Audrey

- Giorgio Armani 400 (in the red tube)

- Chanel Allure Rouge Vie

- Tom Ford Luciano

Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

I’ll keep those in mind for my next purchase(s). I have a lipstick obsession- can’t get enough! ❤️

RE: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

UPDATE: I settled on a Vice Lipstick by Urban Decay. The shade is “Mrs. Mia Wallace”. I really like it! 💄💋

@xteenab - Gorgeous!! The shade Mrs. Mia Wallace looks amazing on you. What foundation are you wearing? Your skin looks flawless! 🙂

 

Best Regards,

RE: Re: RE: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

Hi, @RaquelBT! The foundation I’m wearing is Maybelline Matte+Poreless! Whenever I apply foundation, I stipple it on my face, spray a bit of Mac’s Fix+ on, then blend it out with a beauty blender! Perfect application! xx

Re: RE: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

Hi @xteenab,

 

That looks SO AMAZING on you! Wow! I was going to suggest checking out Smashbox's Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade  Bawse or Miss Conduct. This is one of my favorite liquid lipstick formulas. It is so comfortable and lasts all day! But you look so amazing in the Urban Decay! 

 

Best Wishes,

 

Janean

Re: RE: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

P.S.- I actually swatched “Bawse” today and it is a beautiful shade! I just might buy that one too next time! 😄 

Re: RE: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

Oh thank you so much!! And thanks for the suggestion- I actually have 2 of the Smashbox lipsticks! I have the shades “Babe Alert” & “Out Loud”! You’re right- it’s a GREAT formula!! ❤️

Re: RE: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

Beautiful! Vice is my favorite lipstick formula, too @xteenab

Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

RE: Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

Ooooh that’s a pretty one! I’ll have to check it out in-store, thanks! 🙂

Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

I think any red would look great on you. I personally like a matte burnt red, a little darker than a true red. I like stila and colourpops liquid lipsticks. Mac’s Ruby Woo is a classic too.

RE: Re: Red lipstick suitable for a fair skin?

Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely looking into it! 🙂
