1. Start with a brown/warm lip liner with earth tones.  Not only line your lip, but fill it in entirely.  Then apply a warm red lipstick – the lip liner will tone the color down and keep it in place all day or night. ”And it looks attractive next to any skin tone.”

2. Always choose a more earthy or warm toned red lipstick. “I have found that warmer tones look best on most of my clients when it comes to the perfect red.” Jennifer’s go to red is “Bronze Gold”, from her line.
