The Best Red Lipsticks for Fair Skin and Pale Skin. Lip swatches!

Today I’m bringing you the best red lipsticks for fair skin, another installment in my Pale Girl’s Guide! This is a video that I made in collaboration with my friend Ivy, so make sure you watch her video too! She also did an amazing rose gold chrome nail video that you need to see. I’ve got bold reds, dark reds, burgundies, 90s inspired and subtle reds too. There’s a red for everyone! I did lip swatches of all the shades that I feature.

  1. I love Bad Blood, Gash, and 714! I also really love Urban Decay Iracebeth (from the Alice in Wonderland collection), F-Bomb, and Sheer F-Bomb. For good (non-drying) mattes from Nars, Dragon Girl and Cruella are both amazing. For matte liquid lipsticks, I love Stila Beso (unfortunately no longer cruelty free), Kat Von D Outlaw, and Kat Von D Nosferatu. As a reference, I have a similar skin tone to Courtney; I’m quite fair, but neutral.

  2. Just LOVE Bad Blood and Gash – those two shades are for me…. Thank you for the video – it was very informative as usual Phyrra.

  4. I’ve got pale olive skin– my favorite reds are MAC Russian Red, Milani Matte Iconic, and Maybelline Siren in Scarlet. Fun post– I’m such a sucker for red lippies!

  6. When I met Paula Dorf a longgggggggggggg time ago she insisted I wear a red lipstick. I had an event to go to and it went well with my black tie outfit but I barely wore it after that. I just never felt comfortable.
