I have a fairly light skin with yellow undertones, around a NC20... And I was wondering what a good red lipstick would be for me! Thanks!!

Kinda, the red should be more on the purple side of red instead of an orangeish red.

Well actually. I think you could pull off any red. Are you looking within a price range?

I disagree with Christina. Yellow tones suggest a true red or a bright red that's a little coral-y.

^thats what ment autumn. Coral is nice but not orange red, it won't look good with your yellow undertones.

Honestly, since you're fair skinned, you can pull off most reds. Reds are soooo universal and hard to wear wrong. There are more flattering shades but you can wear red-orange colors if you want since you aren't too tan and so the yellow in your skin tone won't really clash. However, from the looks of your pictures, a true or deeper red would be gorgeous on you!
Well hopefully I'm not hiking up the prices too much either way lol but some nice reds:
Mac Ruby Woo
Mac Russian Red
Mac Chili
Nars Jungle Red

Lime Crime Velvetine Red Velvet
Milani Red Label

Hourglasses liquid lipstick in icon would be good. They have a mini for $10 just be aware that it's kind of drying.

Anyone can pull of a red lip! They are just very high maintenance! You have to have a clean edge and find the right shade for your skin tone! If you have light skin and yellow under tones it depends. I think you should try the classic blue-red lipstick.
