I have always been very wary about trying red lipsticks. I normally go for easy to wear pinks and nudes.
However I really fancied a change and to try something new.
I typed into google red lipsticks suitable for pale skin to see if it would bring up any suggestions as I didn't know how to even begin looking for one that would suit my skin tone. Even though I have dark hair I am very pale which I have inherited from my Mum's side of the family.
The results brought up an article on Boots's website which you can find here. The article details red lipsticks suitable for pale, olive and dark skin.
For pale skin it stated I should go for a lipstick which has blue or brown undertones and one that was suggested was the Lasting Finish Lipstick By Kate Moss for Rimmel in the shade 12.
This is what it looks like and also how it swatched:
Now I have to say to me this definitely has more orange undertones than the blue/brown suggested.
However I do really like it and it does appear to suit my skin tone. I normally wear it with a neutral eye so that the focus is on the lipstick.
It is slightly drying but lasts for such a long time that it didn't put me off from wearing it.
This lipstick is part of Rimmel's Brit collection which also includes nail polish, mascara and eyeshadow.
I picked mine up from a Rimmel stand in my local Tesco but you can find it at Boots priced £5.49
