Every woman needs a sexy show stopping red lipstick to stop traffic! But red lipstick can also look tragically crazy and hooker-ish if done wrong. The key is in the application and underlying color of the shade. If the shade is sheer-ish or not too bright, a lip liner is not necessary. However, if it is a dramatic statement shade, lipliner is a must or it will look messey and tackey. For most asians, a pure bright red will not work unless it has slight orange undertones. This being, the yellow in our skin is warm toned and will clash with blue toned lipsticks.Some reds that look great on asian tones: MAC Fresh Moroccan, MAC LadyBug, NARS Shanghai Red, Mongolian Red, Red Lizard, Anna Sui Semi Matte Red #450, Shiseido Red Cool, MAC Russian Red lipglass, MAC Chance Encounter Lipglass.

I do hope you resume blogging some time again, when you are free that is.
Whatever the case, it's great to see you enjoying your work and best of luck to you!

Thank you thank you thank you for your tips! I'm especially grateful for your favorite list. This helps me narrow down my selection and get something that really works! I hope you start blogging again.
ReplyDeleteI have a question: What blush would you recommend by MAC. I'm currently living overseas and can't locate a Nars distributor.
I just found this blog while looking for a new NARS blush color and I love it! Please do resume blogging, because there's very little ACTUALLY USEFUL and organized information on the internet about makeup for asian skin!
ReplyDeleteHI!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, could you do a post on Bronzers please? :)
And which type of bronzers are suitable for asian skin!
Thank you so much!
