There is nothing better than a classic red lip. Red lipstick goes well with black, white, and of course blue. Plus, red looks great on all skin tones, just like blue does. The trick is to find the perfect red lipstick. If you don't know which red is right for you, the universally flattering red lipsticks are the Sephora Collection in Always Red, Urban Decay's Vice Lipstick in F-bomb, and Maybelline Ruby for Me.
After you find the right shade, you'll have to decide if you want gloss or matte. Matte is a great choice for a high-end sophisticated event, but it can have an aging effect on the appearance of your lips. The shimmer of gloss is a fun look that makes lips look more youthful and supple, perfect for a flirty look. Make sure to tidy up the edges of your lipstick before you head out, and always carry your lipstick with you. You never know when you'll need a touch-up.
