A classic formula and perfect for casual look.

Cream or "Creamy" Finish - This can be one of the most comfortable to wear because cream formulas are often very moisturizing. It is a great formula for an everyday lipstick

Matte Finish - This formula is more flat; there no shine on the lips and it is long-lasting.

Velvet Finish - The name says it all. This formula is one of my favorites when it comes to wearing red lipstick. Picture a rose. Often very long-lasting and such a great and romantic formula for any special occasion.

Glossy or Sheer Finish - Sheer lipsticks are usually the easiest to wear as they provide a light tint. If you struggle with dry lips or if this is your first red lipstick, this is the formula for you.

You are now ready to pick up the right undertone for your skin and rock that red lipstick at all of your holiday parties.

Olive Complexions - Most red colors will look great on you, but brick or rusty reds are ideal for your skin type. Avoid colors that are too warm and orange-based.

Medium Complexions - If you have a golden-tan or medium-yellow undertone, use a red/orange-based undertone.

Dark Complexions: Blue-based undertones are the way to go with your skin type. Try a red wine or merlot shade.

Fair Complexions: Blue-based undertones are the most flattering shades for you, like a raspberry red and pink-undertone. Stay away from warm and orange-based shades, since this shades can look harsh on your complexion.

Wearing a red lipstick during the holidays is fun and is the perfect excuse to try out something new. Red lipstick is classic and never goes out of trend. Plus, you'll look great in all the holiday pictures.
