The 20 most beautiful makeup with red lipstick

Shades of red lipstick range from burgundy red, to peach and coral. Within this wide range, you can definitely find the ideal shade that matches both your hair color and your skin tone.

If you still think that red lipstick is an all-time classic, but avoid it because it doesn't flatter you or looks too much on you in any shade, you're wrong.

What you just need to find is the "golden ratio". In other words, try to find a balance in your makeup with red lipstick that is "closer" to your colors, combining bright red lips with soft eye makeup or vice versa.

Think of course that the festive atmosphere allows you a small dose of exaggeration in your makeup, so bright red lips in this case will take off your glam makeup look.

Either you choose a matte red lipstick, or a red lipstick with a glossy texture, the result will be equally dazzling, so it depends on your personal taste.

But let's see how to make your makeup with red lipstick more charming than ever, through 20 wonderful combinations:

In general, some of the most loved red lipstick makeup suggestions are the folowing: 

• Earthy smokey eye with cat eye eyeliner and orange-red lipstick
• Brown smokey eyes, black eyeliner and bright red lipstick
• Gold and brown eye makeup and dark red burgundy lipstick
• Nude eye makeup with bold eyelashes and dark red lipstick

Tips for makeup with red lipstick

• Make sure the lip contour is the same lipstick color you will apply.
  
• Start your makeup with a clean face base without blemishes or redness, as red lipstick can accentuate these types of marks.
  
• The shape you will give to your lips (triangular or round) with the pencil contour should correspond to your tastes and what suits you. Otherwise you can just fill in your lips naturally by lining them in white Lip pencil.
  
• The darker your skin tone, the deeper the shade of red lipstick needs to be to flatter you.
  
• For a morning make-up with red lipstick, prefer a soft red lipstick and make-up close to the skin tones. To make the effect of the red lipstick faint, apply it and kiss a paper several times to make it fainter.
  
• Regardless of your skin tone and hair color, keep in mind that if you have thin lips, you will highlight them beautifully with the lighter shades of red. On the contrary, full and fleshy lips need darker shades of red to stand out.
  
• Remember that in the dark colors of red lipstick the matte texture looks more dazzling.
