Okay so I love the pinup/red lips look but whenever I do it, it comes out looking funny on me. Am I doing something wrong or is it just my completion/hair color ect? Any suggestions on what color would look good?
There is a red lipstick for everyone, it just takes time to find. You have warm skin tones, so stay away from blue based reds. Go with warmer orange reds. Sadly, I can't recommend a specific color. I do recommend going to Sephora or MAC and asking an associate for help picking a red lipstick.
i agree with kelly to find the perfict shade of red for you you should go to a cosmetics counter wear you can test and all shades with a lip liner, good luck :)
