Ladies: What color lipstick do you wear with a red dress?

Question

I'm thinking red with red is overkill.

Answer 1

If I were wearing a red dress, I'd play up my eyes, and wear a neuteral lip color - nude, brown, a brownish pink, or a sheer gloss.

Answer 2

You choose the color that looks best on you. I heard a make-up artist on TV say, " your eyes and lips are not draperies that you are trying to match to the sofa." I have always remembered that when I see someone with bright red lipstick that does not look good on them. Red lipstick looks good on very few people. I have tried it a few times and ended up wiping it off and using a different color.

Answer 3

Yeah don't wear red that's just too much. Some people can pull it off though, so you can try on your dress and put the lipstick on and see if you like it.

Go with something really neutral...a nude tone. Something with a bit of shine. Keep it subtle.

Answer 4

yes dont do that lol, wear a more sheer color maybe a pink would do but i cant specify an exact shade use somethin maybe two tones darker than ur lips or find a sheer pink lip gloss in stead maybe just clear lip gloss will do also just to add a lil shine!

Answer 5

I think your right. When you wear red and then red lip stick, you look harsh. I would suggest a shade lighter/ pink flesh toned, clear gloss. It will soften your appearance.

Answer 6

Lipstick is so 80's. Just wear clear gloss.

Answer 7

just do a heavy clear gloss, unless you want to wear some red *** lipstik, like the same color as the dress

Answer 8

It depends more on what color of eyeshadow you are wearing than what color dress you wear...I you do dark smoky eyes then do nuetral lips and if you do light more subdued eyes do a vibrant lip color.

Answer 9

i normally wear a clear gloss with my red dress and tops

Answer 10

i think u should use a neutral color for lips cuz as u said red with red iss just too much ...
