# Red Lipstick for Fair Complexion

Fair complexion can carry most of the shades even the pale colors which can wash out the medium to duskier skin tone at the same time some shades can look too bright on fair skinned women. Women with fair skin can try blue based red, pinkish reds, cherry reds and even the cranberry reds. Fair skinned ones with yellow undertones may pick up red with orange or pink based which complements the skin color beautifully.

# Perfect Red lipstick for Medium Skin Tone

Corally reds or orange based red, brick red color looks the best on the medium to wheat-ish skin tones. Such colors look great on medium complexion without looking too bright or loud. Even pink based reds can also be tried as they too compliment the medium skin tone. For medium shades, matte lipstick for the evening time and a glossy lip color for the day time or even vice versa. This is because the medium or olive skin complexions can carry bold colors beautifully and they won’t even look harsh rather complementing.

# Red Lipstick for Dark Skin Complexion

Darker skin complexion can try reds like cranberry, wine reds or burgundy to make the red go beautifully with their duskier skin tones. Duskier skin tone should try earth toned colors and never the colors that are lighter or have the coolness in them since those colors are more likely to wash out the dark skin. Plum reds and deeper reds look utmost flattering on the darker skin complexion. Like the Bobbi Brown’s Raisin Berry which is a stunning shade of berry for dusky complexion. But here is a catch here, while wearing a deep and dark color you should always try to line the lips which prevents the bleeding and also use some concealer as that would look really bad when that lipstick smudges.
