Out of office glamour

August 19, 2008

If you are heading out straight from the office a quick fix to add instant glamour is to add red lipstick.

Red lipstick will always be a beauty staple – always in fashion, whatever the season.

Men find red lips hard to resist. Over the years we have learnt that red lipstick = sex appeal and glamour!

The best color red to go for is a shout-out shade. It is all about being bold and carrying off even a really bright colour with confidence. Make sure that you apply the lipstick correct though and go for a shade for your age as if wrongly applied can make you look washed out or tarty.

With red lipstick it is all about your skin tone! See below for a few tips on what red colour to go for depending on your skin tone:

Fair Skinned: Go for a brownish red

Medium-to-dark: Deep and rich red

Dark brown: Pinkish reds or strong fuchsias
