Lippy Lustre: 10 Red lipsticks for Asian skin tones
From warm, to olive to pale to tanner tones, we’ve got the right red lipsticks for you.
Have you ever admired the classic red lipstick on Taylor Swift but the minute you tried it on yourself, it didn’t work as perfectly? Well, we might have some solutions for you.
Firstly, we have to recognise the fact that our Asian skin tones may differ from Taylor’s. If you’re tanned like actress Jamie Chung, it would be wise to opt for a darker red.
Here are some tips on figuring what shade of red matches your skin tone.
Yellow-based caramel tones:
They tend to look best in orange-based reds such as MAC Ruby Woo Red Lipstick and Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Colour in Red.
Golden skin tones:
If you are sporty and have a golden skin tone, try a deep vivid berry like NARS’ Satin Lip Pencil in Luxemburg and Red Burlesque Ruby Joule.
Olive-tones:
The Shien Cosmetics lipstick range (first of its kind) is particularly designed to cater to the full spectrum of Asian skin tones, while The Viper’s Dream collection is specially formulated with gold and olive-tone Asian skin in mind.
Ranging from candied to slow-burn red, cloth your luscious lips with these reds.
