SJosephineimply RedFairley explains how going for bold can be the key to lipcolour successMaybe you’re scared of red lipstick. Maybe you’re devoted to it: the makeup‘go to’ friends know you for. But as make-up statements go there isnothing more classic – and nothing that oozes confidence – like rockinga red lip. For some women, it becomes a signature, like their personal handwriting.Others find it as terrifying as the Daleks, because unlike the judicious, understatedapplication of nudes and neutrals, red lipstick requires not just courage – but skill.Personally, I am increasingly a fan. I find that wearing a red lipstick allows meto dial down the rest of my make-up (in fact, a strong red lip with bold eyes andblusher is terribly Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington), saving time and effort. And Ithink red lipstick looks fantastic on older faces, actually, counterbalancing the naturalfading of features that tends to happen with time, and which is ageing in itself.So, I’m delighted that red lipstick has been ‘having a moment’, lately – newformulations and products, fab shades (and something for everyone). Which seemslike the perfect excuse to share everything I ever learned about red lips, from thepros, about how a pop of scarlet, crimson or cherry can enhance your looks...Figure out if you’re a ‘warm’ red or a ‘cool’ red. Rule of thumb: orange-reds, or thoseheading towards coral, are kinder to olive complexions or anyone who tans easily. Palerskins (i.e. cooler complexions), as well as black skins, are generally better with blue-tonedor pinky-reds. If you’re uncertain whether you’re warm or cool, you’ve two options:visit a make-up counter (where consultants can usually tell at a glance), or do thepeach/rose test (um, you’ll need a peach and a mid-pink rose, to do this).There’s a brilliant guide to determining ‘your’ red on the website of Loose Womenmake-up artist Donna May (donnamaylondon.com), whose new red lip pencils I raveabout below. Previously, I’ve always shared this (still-excellent) advice from dynamoSharon Dowsett (at ‘Chanel Beauty School’): “Look into the mirror – thenhold up some fruit. If you’re a ‘warm’, you’ll look better with that peach nextto your cheek. If you’re a ‘cool’, the pink rose will ‘lift’ your face.” (Unlessyou’re one of those rare and fortunate creatures – which, it turns out, Ihappen to be – for whom both ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ colours are equallycomplexion-perkifying.) Once you know your warms from your cools,as Sharon demonstrated to me vividly in person, it’s easy to take ashort-cut to the right red… (N.B.: Do beware of orange-red lipsticksif your teeth are stained, as orange emphasises the discolouration…)Try reds on for size before you buy. Although there is nothingquite like putting a red lipstick onto your very own pout tosee how well it will flatter you, in reality you’ll only be able totry on a couple of shades before the pigments in the lipsticks‘tint’ your own lips. After that, even when you remove oneof the lipsticks and start again, the colour you see in themirror is no longer ‘true’. So, how can you eliminate shadesthat aren’t going to work, before you waste your money?Two tips. “The skin on the body that is closest to the naturalshade of your lips is on the pads of your fingers,” explains mymake-up genius friend Mary Greenwell. “So, try lipsticks out 113priceless-magazines.com
