How to wear Red Lipstick

I love red, and I barely wear it besides my blog posts that I do.  I suppose it draws attention to the face, and especially the lips.  Aside from my personal preference I really have to say that we are seeing red all over the runways.  We are seeing all different finishes and intensities of red.  So don't be shy, or if you are shy, wear it lightly dabbed on with a finger, as a stain.  Either way, this is a trend that we can get behind. 

I get told often, "oh I can't wear red, it's too much and I feel I can't pull it off."  There is a red for everyone, trust me. 

Here I will show you my skin tone, which is fair, a medium skin tone, and a darker skin tone.
