I'm light skinned. Can I still pull off red lips?

Question

What are the best brands/colors of red for a fair skinned gal? And is it possible to still pull off red lips with lighter skin?

Answer 1

I personally think Red lipstick looks better on light skin.

:)

Answer 2

Of course it is. Try a glossy rose red or rouge.

Answer 3

It depends on what your wearing. but Even then I might just stick to shimmering lip colors.  Try using light pinks and tans.  Those always work really good for me and I have really light skin too.

Answer 4

it is possible to pull off, a bold lip, with lighter skin.

just make sure to go light with your eye make up.

with make up, less is always more.

Answer 5

I am very fair and red lipstick when I go out in the evening. I just got photos back from wedding were I wore lots of mascara and red lipsticks. Looked great. Just don't over play any other make up

Answer 6

yes someone with light skin could pull it off but only some shades and if u wear the wrong clothes with it u can look trashy.

Answer 7

pale skin and red lippies are death.

Answer 8

Answer 9

depends on what shade of red, i guess.  the darker the better. i'm really not a fan of red lips on anybody.

Answer 10

Red lip stick would like like heaven on you!!! BECAUSE you are light skinned, is y it would look gorgeous! definetley you could pull it off. Also I suggest Turqoise and reds as clothing that would look amazing on you! Also brands, you could pull off anything, just like anyone else, as long as the style is nice. so you could go to forever21, AE, Hollister, pac sun, etc!

hope i helped!
