How should you do your makeup when wearing red lipstick?
As per Real Simple, if you're going to wear red lipstick, it's best not to make your eyes a focal point. Lipstick designer, Poppy King says to, "Pair red lipstick with the lightest possible eye makeup," and suggests that a small amount of mascara and some nude eyeshadow tends to work well. Real Simple also suggests that you coordinate your look, adding a dot of the red lipstick you're wearing onto the apples of your cheeks, using it as a matching blush.
As per Red, you can also opt to pair red lipstick with a lighter hued blush, such as a pink blush. Just make sure that the blush used is a natural tone.
Don't make the mistake of using red lip liner, unless it perfectly matches the red lipstick being worn. Otherwise, you will end up with a strange two-tone look. If you cannot find a red lip liner that perfectly matches your red lipstick of choice, opt to use a natural-hued liner instead.
As per Live Glam, one of the main issues to combat when sporting a red lip is finding the right eyeshadow to team with the look. One option is to combine a teal lid with a red lip look, or opting for a gold or bronze eyeshadow for a luxe look, or pairing a red lip with a red eyeshadow.
