Red lipstick

Question:

I recently went shopping for a red lipstick and was totally overwhelmed by the number of shades [that] I didn’t buy anything. I have a fair complexion — what would you suggest is the best red to suit my skin tone.

Answer:

Soft berry reds with a bluish undertone go with a fair skin. If you like deeper shades go for a plum red, but stay away from orange tones as they can be aging.
