dark or light skin, can black girls really wear red lipstick?

Oh, my god--YES!!! Girls with dark skin can pull off ANY shade of red--unlike the rest of us. It looks beautiful on their dark skin!

Absolutely. One of the things that I love the most about dark skin is that makeup colors look so vibrant and true, especially lipstick colors. I think red lipstick looks great on black women.

Yes, but if colored women wear red lipstick, I would strongly advise them to go with a darker stain instead of a fire-engine red, you know?
I took makeup classes at my modeling school, and there was a colored girl in with me who made the BIGGEST mistake by wearing the shade that reminded me of a fiery orange..
Trust me.
No firetrucks.. just Dark reds..

why wouldn't they be able to? almost anyone can wear red lipstick as long as the shade of red flatters their skin tone. some people can use a blue red and others, an orange red

Yes!!! I' am African American but I have a light skin complexion and I use colorstay soft & smooth lipcolor by revlon try Succulent Berry as a shade. Just choose the right shade for your complexion. Try a cherry red or a berry red, not those loud color reds. Just experiment with it. Hint: put a clear lipgloss over it.

I think it doesn't have to do with complexion but the radiance of the skin, because I can wear lipstick and I am dark but I've seen some who can't. I don't think it's the best looking color on us though, but it can work.

Everybody can wear red lipstick, but when you a light color you have to find your tone of red but when your a dark you can wear any color of red.

I just saw an episode of the Tyra Show about beauty tips.
Women of ALL colors CAN WEAR RED lipstick.
Light skin are advised to wear pink undertone, or brighter reds.
Olive skin - darker red.
But girlfriend, you are black and will look nice with ANY SHADE.
So lucky you!!!!

I don't know about red, I don't see why not. The color I love on dark skinned people is like a purplish red, or a brownish red, that looks the best I think.

Yeah, Sure you can but red lipstick looks cheap on us, try like a brown. No white girl could pull that off better than us girl.
