Personally I think any skintone can wear any colour - it's just finding the "right" one. But yes - red lips definitely look amazing on all skin tones, just find one that suits you!

I think it depends a lot on the person, I prefer on pale skin but I remember Kelly Rowland rocking the red and it also looked great.

Katy Perry.

I think it can look great on most people but it's very important to get the right shade for your skin tone.
Also, you need a little confidence to pull it off because it is a pretty bold look.

I don't personally like bright red lip-stick on a day-to-day basis on most people. I think a slight berry-red tint looks great, but full on red lips generally just seem a bit too much for everyday wear for most women.

That said, some women look great in it, especially if it forms the basis of their style, a la Dita Von tesse.

You didn't post any light complexions. Bright red lips look great, just not on pale white people, in my opinion. Anyone with a tan, or a dark skin, and it looks great.

by light complexion i meant olive/light brown girls and by dark complexion I meant medium brown to dark brown.

Ah, in that case I need to change my vote.

It looks grand on all those colours.

Why leave out actual light complexions?

because i was talking about brown skin, since most people say that they don't like it on darker skin. nothing personal.

[KickingKat88]

I don't think any of those girls have a typically light complexion, although I do think red lipstick looks great on both light and dark and medium skin. I think it depends more on the type of face and lip shape to be honest as well as the occasion.

Light complexions I have seen with red lipstick on are: Scarlett Johansen, Kate Beckinsale and Angelina Jolie, all beautiful.

I don't think Rihanna suits red lipstick.

Oh I see. Maybe you should've worded it differently and put olive/light brown in your original post, as quite a few posters are confused as to why there are no light complexions.

i wrote light complexion and provided pics and did the same with dark complexion. perhaps i should make the font bigger or i should make a new thread including all skin colours...

[darkxangel]

Hey guys, I decided to make another thread on this subject, since people wondered why I didn't include all skin colours in the other thread(http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show....php?t=2070931). To make this air I decided to use at least five pictures for each category. Please look at the spoilers before voting.

anyone?

[DontJudge]

I'm sorry but, why should you choose what you wear depending on skin colour.
Everything goes with your skin colour, it's not a barrier to anything.


Red lips look good on dark girls and pale girls.

EDIT: I'm saying the same thing as everyone else, yet I get the negs! Thankyou..soo..much
