What color lipstick to wear with tomato red

donna

What color lipstick do you wear when you are wearing a tomato red blazer? I am very fair with brownish/red hair. I would love suggestions.

I usually wear a light peachy color that looks more "nude," or natural, but sometimes I just go all out and wear red lipstick. If the color is very close to my face (like a scarf or a turtleneck), I find that my pinker lipsticks don't look as good, but that's just my preference.

Well, red always works, IMO, but I do love a red lip. It doesn't have to match exactly. If a full-on red lip is too much for you, you can apply red lipstick and then blot most of it off and it will still give the impression of red without being so intense. Otherwise I'd go with a YLLB color (your lips but better) - a neutral but slightly darker than your natural lips.

I'm also fair but have very very dark hair; for me NOT coloring my lips when wearing red washes my face right out. When I wear red I use a deep red lip tint (usually tinted balm) or sometimes a coral-orange color, and sometimes top it off with gloss for extra lip power.

I don't like a red lip on me so I would go with a warm nude, or even a bronzy or browny color.
