Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I, too, have brown hair, hazel eyes, and olive skin. So, I'll just tell you a couple of my favorites. Lipstick depends on what you're wearing, the shade, and the occasion.
-Dark Red I don't apply the lipstick heavily, I dab it around the edges of my lips (slightly heavier at the the pointy top of my lip to bring out the shape), then I rub it in with my finger. (Dabbing off extra with a tissue if I used too much.) Then, I usually use my lip gloss. It's a pinkish-tan color; it's very light. I believe it's Puttin' on the Glitz - Milani.
-Brighter Red I apply it the same way, very lightly. Then, I use a pinker lipstick or lip gloss
-And when I don't wear lipstick, I just put on some bronze-pink lip gloss.

Answer 2

I'm not a big fan of red lipstick, its too loud and high maintenance.
Why not go for a nude glossy colour instead its fresher and easier to touch up.

Answer 3

well i think that red lipstick is good for people for pale skin. like really white skin and blonde hair. kind of like a marilyn monroe type of do. so i guess brown or pink would go good with your look.

Answer 4

RED, RED, RED --- YES, YES, YES !
Why be subtle? Ignore all the other boring suggestions! (clear gloss, pale pink, or white? NEVER!) Live "out loud". (and with red lipstick, you can get away with little or no eye makeup).

I like POPPY from Revlon Colorstay, but can only get this now on the Internet (it is a true BRIGHT red, and has no pink or maroon undertones like many other shades of red).

HAPPY RED LIPS ! ! ! (you go, Girl !)

Answer 5

My mom has similar coloring to you. Red looks garish on her. She goes with a more burgundy shade for dressy occasions and a dark rose color for daytime. Just not to dark or too bright.

Answer 6

No red. You'll look like trash. Not that red isnt sexy, but it is not for every skin tone.I would have to see you to tell you what exact color, but off the dome, I would tell you to go for a lighter color, or wear gloss which is just as sexy.

Answer 7

Red lipstick is hot. If the reflection in your mirror is to your liking, then wear it.

Answer 8

I would avoid red during daylight hours, however... If you're feeling frisky in the evening, I say GO FOR IT!!!

Answer 9

There are sooooooo many shades of red, play around with different shades. I promise there is one out there for you.
