Chandni Goyal, Training Manager, Anastasia Beverly Hills India, shares with GlobalSpa the easiest way to set aside your skin tone fears and choose the perfect shade of red for your pout this season.

1. Fair Complexions

Brides with fair complexions usually have cool undertones, hence choosing a red that has blue undertone or a pink undertone should be their go to. Think of raspberry tones that perfectly compliment this skin tone and will enhance the bride’s smile. Crimson works well for this complexion.

3. Medium Complexions

Brick reds with orange/rust undertone works well for this skin tone during summer season where this skin tone is prone to tanning more often, whereas cool tone reds work very well for medium complexions as well during the winter season. Coral and blood red works well.

4. Dusky Complexions

Rust reds are the perfect reds for this complexion and compliment the deeper complexions. Maroon works well for this complexion.

5. Dark Complexions

Deep reds with plum tones are best suited for deeper complexions that enhance the rich complexion. Burgundy tones work well for this complexion.

6. Pro Tip

Regardless of your skin tone, if you are someone who has thin lips or are conscious of yellow teeth, choose a neutral tone of red that has a balance of blue and red undertones to compliment any skin tone. Berry tones work well for neutral reds that work well for all.
