Question: What is an Easy to Wear Red Lipstick?
Answer: Red lipstick is the ideal way to take your look from day to night. Contrary to popular belief, many skin tones can get away with wearing red lipstick. It can be trial and error trying to find a shade that suits you best, so if it's your first foray into the world of red lips, opt for a color that is universally flattering. MAC's Red Russian is a blue-toned matte lipstick. This means it brings out the pinks in your skin, and doesn't add any yellow if you have dark skin. I have seen this shade on many ethnicities, and it looks (and wears) fabulously. Also, because it's matte, there's no messy clean up to deal with when it comes time to remove it.
