Red lips will never go out of style, and are a true classic in the beauty world. Naturally, an array of red and orange lips are in for spring 2012. Seen on the runways, designers have shown a variety of hues, in matte and glossed looks, that add a fun and romantic pop. Here are some great looks to try:
Glossed vs. Matte Red lips
Gloss vs. Matte Orange lips – Tangerine Tango, Pantone Color of the Year
Confused on how to choose the right red for your skin tone?
Fair/Alabaster– a blue-based coral red looks best on those with fair skin complexion
Medium/Olive– a cranberry, true red looks best on those with medium skin complexion
Brown/Black/Dark– a burgundy or brick red looks best on those with darker skin complexion
