How to find your perfect red lipstick

With just a few quick clicks...

A little red lipstick can go a long way in the make-up department but as we all know too well not all lipsticks are made equal.

But how do you sort the good from the bad when there are so many different shades of red out there? Firstly, you head to Powder for their tailored-to-you red lipstick recommendations.

The secret is to find one that completely works with your colouring. Basically, everything from the undertones of your skin, to your hair and eye colour.

Yes, it’s undeniably the hardest part of finding a new lipstick but these small things really do make a big difference when finding a shade of red that suits you.

Oh and don’t forget you’ll also need to consider the type of finish you want, are you more of a glossy kind of girl or do you prefer a longer-lasting matte formula?

Then, just when you’ve finally commit to a tube and parted with your cash it turns out it just wasn’t the one for you.

And then the said lipstick, which you wasted hours (and pounds) searching for is thrown to the back of your make-up draw whilst you silently curse the store-staff who convinced you to buy it.
