I want to try a bright red lipstick that you see all the celebrities wearing in the magazines. I have naturally blonde hair (German) and olive/bronze skin (Greek). What are some of the shades you have found that work for blondes?

you can see all the different shades they offer
i'm blonde too and i think that dark reds bring out my lips very nicely while not being too gaudy

red lipstick + blond german greek goddes. wow hotstuff!
go for classic. stick to a true red, avoid a hard lip line though. low gloss or super-matte finishes are nice for fall. (keep your eyes neutral and classic)
here's a great tip... find a red lip liner (i like the soft red lip liner that the body shop carries $8.50) dip it into a clear lip balm pot (non sparkly). rub the speck of gloss all over the lips with the liner. slightly smudge the outer lip line with a smudger or a qtip. just to sften the look. hard liner is cool but its drastic.
(cherry tones might be a bit bright for fall) think more classic hollywood glamour.

Try a cherry red, as the person above said.
People with olive skin look best in cool colors -
white, rosy beige, pinks, cherry red, coral, lemon, mint, jade, forest, and hunter green; sky, royal, smoke, and navy blue, lavender, plum, gray, black, and silver jewelry.
BTW- Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and Christina Aguilera are blonde, and look great in red lipstick!

Blondes shouldn't wear red lipstick, but if you think you can pull it off. I would try a Cherry Red.
