Many women avoid trying a red lip because they feel it can look too brash, but this depends on the way you apply it. I personally think girls who wear red lipstick are sexy. Who do you think look best in their red hot lips? Mischa Barton or Rebecca Romijn? You decide!

Tips: A matte red can make you look too done-up, so go for a glossier red instead. Line and fill in your lips with a lip liner that closely matches your natural lip color. Apply lipstick, blot with a tissue and lightly dust your lips with powder to give it extra-staying power. Since red lips are dramatic, you should keep the rest of your face bare or else you’ll look like you belong in the circus or something!

Oh just a reminder: if your teeth are yellow, wearing red shade with blue undertones will help make your pearly white looks a litter more pearly and white. The secret to wearing red hot lipstick is feeling comfortable. All it takes is confidence to back it up!
