Do you have eye-popping red lipstick sitting in your makeup bag but no reason to wear it? While it might seem like there’s never a good occasion to sport fire engine red on your pout, there are plenty of ways you can make it work. Whether you’re going out on a lunch date or hanging out with your girlfriends, red might be perfect for the situation.

1. Go rosy if you have a pale skin tone.
DailyCandy.com reports that if you have a light skin tone that could use some warming up, don’t be afraid to use a bold lipstick to make a statement. Choose something rosy to complement your skin and show off your pout.

2. Do plenty of experimenting.
You never know which shade of red is right for you until you try! Don’t settle for the first red lipstick you find – try a wide variety until you discover one that you’re comfortable wearing when you look in the mirror.

3. Complement your lips with your cheeks.
To drive the look home, Real Simple magazine recommends adding a little bit of pink blush to your cheeks. Doing so can complement your lipstick and pull your appearance together.

Can't leave the house without my... - Lip gloss. The rest of the day can be a total bust, but if I have a great gloss on I feel like at least I've done one thing right! I would describe my style as... - Definitely au naturale. While I love exploring new shades of eyeshadow and liner on special occasions, for me the most important part of any beauty regimen is keeping my skin clear and blemish-free.
