Many women do not feel confident about wearing a bright shade of red lipstick on their lips.  Most of them think that a red lipstick is far too luminous and showy for them, and that it calls too much attention on their lips.  

What only makeup artists and a few women know is that red lipstick can make the lips very alluring if applied correctly.  Red lipstick can make the lips look plump, sexy and very kissable. A healthy woman also has flushed skin and reddish lips, which means she has good blood circulation. Red lipstick applied to the lips makes a woman attractive to men. 

A principle in wearing red lipstick is that the paler your skin is, the bigger your lips would look like when you apply red lipstick on them.  So, you should match the hue of your lipstick with the tone of your skin.  If your skin is light and pale with pinkish tones, you are better off using plum reds.  If your skin is dark and with tones of yellow, then you should go for a red lipstick mixed with brown shades. 

You do not have to be afraid to wear a bright shade of red lipstick on your lips.  Just apply it correctly and make sure that you balance your makeup when you paint your lips red.
