Ugh! I wish I could pass off a red lip!! this week I started off experimenting with lipgloss! I can't pass of a deep red, or red in general. pretty much any dark lip color because my lips are small and my face is round. I'm tan and so, what lip color could I pass off?

I really think it's a matter of getting comfortable with wearing it. I live in a really small town and I felt weird wearing red lipstick because most girls here don't even really wear makeup. So I got a dark red and began basically staining my lips with it. it was matte and just barely made my lips reddish pink. And now I've gotten comfortable adding more layers. Just start working with your comfort zone and eventually push the boundaries a bit.

Dark lips do make small lips look smaller but who really cares? It's all about feeling comfortable with it! One thing I do suggest is a lip liner so it doesn't bleed buy try it on and show us :)

Instead of going dark go bold! Try a more orange toned red to compliment your tan skin. If you are not afraid of color opt. For any of the orangy red lipsticks from the Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids... Or if you like less intense colors check out the Kate by Rimmel London Collection for their orange reds

I feel like any woman can pull off a red lippie...just all depends on the lip liner... Thats why you experiment...besides its only makeup it can come off...
