Ladies - red lipstick

I aimed this at the ladies and then realised there are probably a whole array of guys out there who could answer

I need a red lipstick but I find they tend to make my teeth look yellow even although they aren't..

Any suggestions as to what shade? I ideally wanted a slut red lipstick (no I am not sure Boots sell that shade either)

any suggestions Oh experts...

Try different reds. The orange toned reds may make your teeth look yellow but the blue reds may make them look brighter. I find putting on a neutral base-coat lipstick first also helps to keep the red tone as true to the lipstick as possible.

as a qualified make up artist and beautician I can tell you, you're just wearing the wrong shade of red, EVERYONE can wear red lippy, just need the right shade for your complexion/colouring, go to your local make up counter and get them to match you!

I can't describe it except to say when you look at two reds side by side you will see some have more of a yellow/orange base to them and others have a blue/purple base to them.

Go to one of the make up counters and ask them to put it on you... I went to Chanel and had them do it and it looked great! I can't really pull it off now I've changed from dark hair though, as my hair is the same colour as the red lipstick!

I was just about to suggest going for number 7, it's just 4 to the right of number 3; or you could go for the 539 from maybeitslipstick, which is just next to the 540.

If you cannot get any of those, I'd suggest a nice red one....

Hope that helps

Rimmel Kate moss in number 01 is a great blue undertone red lipstick if you're on a budget. If you have money to spare, chanel does lots of different shades of red that is lush. Or an intermediate between the two budget would be something from MAC, the make up artist there can probably help you out with the colours. I've heard good things about Russian red or ruby woo by MAC.

Have fun!

I don't actually mind paying a bit for it....I suspect I will have it for a while...Putting on your lippy always boosts confidence but red lippy is something else....A woman who wears red lippy is demonstrating her confidence ..I think...

Elizabeth Arden do a good one (It can become a lip stain after a while, so doesn't just disappear after one snog), the shade is called Red Diamond, and I love it for a night out (not an everyday lipstick) It's not a bright red, but it has subtle undertones x

Use a lip stain, they're easier to control on brightness and the colour lasts ages.
