RED LIPSTICK FOR OLIVE/ASIAN SKIN

Having an olive or yellow skin undertone can be tricky for choosing a red lipstick. Girls often make the mistake of choosing a red lipstick with blue undertones that doesn't necessarily flatter their complexion. A yellow undertone suits lipsticks that also have warm undertones.

To test whether you have a olive/yellow undertone do the following:

Look at the veins on the inside of your arms. If the veins appear blue, you have a pink or cool undertone. If the veins look green, then you have a yellow/olive undertone.

Revlon Matte Lipstick: Left: In the red
Right: Wine Not

I have finally found 2 lipsticks that suit my skin tone and both are from Revlon. The colour "In the Red" is a red with orangey undertones which would look amazing on Asian skin. Wine Not is (as the name says) a darker wine colour and looks absolutely gorgeous for a more sophisticated evening look.

Left: In the Red         Right: Wine Not

Obviously, there are millions of lipsticks that can be found that suit a warm skintone, it isn't only these two. However, the above colours are a good guide for choosing the right lipstick for you if you have an Asian or Olive skintone.

Good Luck :)
