My chest and neck have neutral undertones, and my face leans pink. I choose to cancel out the redness and match my body with a neutral undertoned foundation, and find it looks great. My question is, what undertones of red lip products will compliment me the best? I purchased Candy Apple lip butter, which is an orangey red, and found it very unflattering on me. Do I need to take into consideration that I have auburn red hair and very fair skin? I would love some advice from anyone knowledgeable about this kind of stuff! Attached is a picture of me in natural light.

Have you tried a red with blue undertones?

Do red with blue undertones. With your hair stay away from the orangey ones

Nars describes Fire Down Below as being blood red without orange or blue undertones. Love that color

Thanks for your suggestion Kimberly! And to be honest, Rebecca, the only red I've ever tried is that orangey red shade by Revlon! But I plan to purchase some more to try soon.

I go with brick reds and blue undertone reds. I like more deep vampy red colors. I think they look better than bright patriotic red. I have the same complexion and hair. I love Snow White from NYX and Dragon's Blood from Fyrinnae.

You definitely should stick with the red undertones since your hair is red but I would go with like a blue or purple type

I think you can also look great with a deep red. It would def. be a statement!
