How To: Style Different Red Lipsticks

I don't know about you but I never know when it is appropriate to wear red lipstick. I never know if it will make my outfit too dressy or if it will go with my outfit. Red lipstick is my absolute favourite and there isn't just one shade of red!!

My mother always tells me off when I buy a new lipstick...
Mum: You already have a red lipstick
Me: BUT ITS DIFFERENT!!!!

anyway here are a few examples of how I style red lips.

Things to bare in mind in advance

  • I am not a model so I look dreadful!
  • The extreme close-ups of my lips makes my lips look awful and that I havent applied it properly, its just because I have strange shape lips and i'm not a makeup artist
enjoy.

Dressy/Night Out
Maybeline Colour Sensational Lipstick in 530 Fatal Red- £7.19 (Superdrug)


Sorry for the bad application


Dress- River Island

Dressy/Night Out
For a dressy/night out I would use this lipstick from Maybeline. I like it as it is not completed matte however stays on for hours. It has a lovely shimmer and look good on all ages. I feel it will also suit all skin colours and its not too expensive.  The colour is also rather beautiful.

Gothic/Dark
Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick in 107- £5.50 (Tesco)


Shirt- New look £17.99
Black Jeggins- New look 
Gothic/Dark
You are properly thinking "Gothic? This isn't gothic!". However I am extremely fair so being fully gothic would look awful. I love this look so much, I think its great for people like me who are very pale. I mentioned this lipstick in my september favourites because I love it that much! It also has a lovely red tint in it and I love red so I love this lipstick. I would avoid this lipstick if you have really dark skin because it may not look to good. I also absolutely love this shirt, well I love shirts in general and usually I don't suit black however I like this. 

Casual/Everyday

Mac Lipstick in Russian Red- £15.00

Not a very good picture
Dress- Next
Cardigan- Primark (£6)
Casual/ Everyday
This is one of my favourite looks to wear. Although I do find it hard to put red lipstick with a casual outfit because I am always scared of looking like a clown. Anyway I love this lipstick, possibly one of my favourites. It suits most skin types and looks fabulous on everyone. I feel this lipstick goes really nicely with my hair and makes me feel happy (I am so weird). This lipstick is completely matte so I recommend if you have quite dry lips then apply a lip balm before application.

Cherry Red Lipstick
Mac Lipstick in So Chaud- £15.00

Shirt- New Look
Jeans- River Island
Cherry Red Lipstick/Bright Lipstick
I love bright lipstick however I hardly wear it because i'm so scared of it. I really like this one by mac as it has a slight orange tint to it. I feel this lipstick would mainly suit people with blonde hair. I really love this outfit, I wear it all the time... quite literally.
