HOW TO | WEAR YOUR LUCKY RED CONFIDENTLY

Ever wanted to wear red but not sure how? Check out these tips to wear red confidently this Lunar New Year!

When it comes to Lunar New Year, red is the go-to color that brings more auspicious blessings. It brings luck, happiness, and prosperity, and makes you look stand out no matter what! 

The thing is, some might think this lucky color is too vibrant or a bit “intimidating.” If you’re one of them, worry not, we’ve got some tips to help you wear red confidently this Lunar New Year.

Bold colors like red are such an attention grabber. Wherever you apply red on your face, your look instantly appears bolder and brighter. If you’ve been shying away from wearing red,  try these tips to make your red look more balanced: 

  1. Wear red only in one part of your face. For example, you can wear red lipstick and wear neutral or nude colors  for the cheek and eye look. 
  2. When you wear other colors along with red, choose ones that can complement it. You can choose a color with a similar tone like pink or neutral color like brown. 

If you choose to wear red around your eyes, pair with a softer color or a brownish shade to complement it. For instance, apply a soft coral-y color like Face Glow Sunset for the blush and Lip Coat Choco Fudge for the lips. 

When you wear a reddish blush you can try balancing the look with a nude or pinkish shade. For the lips, you can wear glossy pink lips by combining Lip Liner Dusty Rose and Lip Petals River. You can also add some soft shimmers from Eyeshadow Pocket 1989. 

For a look with red lipstick, balance it out with pink blush like Baby Blush 1987. For the eye, instead of wearing some colors, you can draw a simple winged liner using Matte Liner Pitch Black instead. This will give more statement to your look, yet still balanced!
