How to choose the right red lipstick

“I don’t think I can wear a red lip” This is something I commonly hear. You can, you just need to find the right shade for you. In this film, I help Rosie Green overcome her fear for lipstick in general and help her choose the right red lip through a progressive step-by-step process. Will she like it? Lets find out….

What you've taught me is that it's better to wear it with minimal makeup...that's where I've been going wrong! Thank you x

[@jenv6846]

Same! I just need to figure out the more minimal eye, lol

[@Lornawhitney]

Jen V same here. I’m going to do just mascara and some dark brown liner in the roots and nothing else when I next try a red lip!

[@vickybailey8621]

Well I went the full bang and bought a red lipstick years ago. Never wore red, always a nude pink. But I bought Rimmel Kate Moss red lipstick and have never looked back, I wear all sorts of shades now. It’s a total game changer.

[@BeshenayaVishnya]

I don’t remember if you had a video about red lipstick before, but I started wearing red on my lips after I found your channel. You inspire me to wear red and not to be afraid of lipstick in general 😍 Thank you!

[@andreaawangku1782]

How absolutely stunning Rosie looks in the final red! Very chic yet approachable is the vibe it gives off. I have to admit to being quite scared of reds myself but I now realize I was going wrong by putting too much on my face. I always thought if im going with red I need to have lots of base etc etc to balance it out but instead I realize it was just a sodding mess! This has been such an educational video Caroline, thank you so much! xx

[@Vee_of_the_Weald]

Rosie, you look fantastic!! I have Lisa Eldridge’s red velvets. They are just the best. Love you, ladies. You are so great together. x

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks!

[@737speedster]

You have changed my mind about red lipsticks. I'm going to buy the Lisa Eldridge lippy. Will wear it for my work Christmas party.

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks!

[@MissEMc2]

I have not finished the film yet, I’m not even 2 minutes in, but I had to pause to say Rosie you have such an amazing smile & gorgeous teeth!! You should really show them off because you are very blessed to have such a beautiful smile!! 🥰

[@SolElarien]

Red lip is almost my signature look, I love it, I'm very pale and it brings the color I lack back to my face. The curious thing is that even wearing a red lip (and I go from the orange corally red to the brownish red, though not violet), people tell me my make up is very natural, and when I don't wear it they ask me if I feel fine, I guess it suits me. Love, Sol

[@msanetchen3912]

Great video, Ladies! Caroline, I love the way you're gentle with the "client" and yet confident in your professionalism. Rosie, you look stunning in red. It adds sophistication and makes your beautiful teeth even whiter, if that's possible.

[@juliemeadows340]

Wow, stunning. You have an amazing eye for what colours suit others. How lovely is Rosie, you could see the genuine delight in her face with each new look. I love a really bright red lip but velvet jazz is my fave used as a stain and on my cheeks for a perfect daytime winter look. Xxx

[@Claire-qp8ye]

Every single one of those colours looked stunning on Rosie x

[@mrslovgren8522]

Best red lipstick tutorial. I hade stopped using red becouse I think my lips looks thinner but I surely will try again now. I love bold lipcolours.

[@dianalee603]

You might want to try a sheer red. I've heard Cherry Chapstick gives a red look.

[@nicoledargin8257]

The Lisa Eldridge red is hands down the best shade on Rosie. The first 3 were aging & matronly.

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks!

[@cristinamagurean]

Caroline is the sweetest magician of makeup!!!! Love all the looks!!!

[@suesummers8813]

Brings out the colour of her hair and eyes..looks fab

[@lisah2109]

I’m also brunette and would never have tried a red lip, until Lisa Eldridge brought out her range. I built up from a slight stain as well. This has given me a few more options to try. Thank you.x

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks! I have so many!

[@jenniferrhoads3322]

So good Caroline! Rosie, you look gorgeous in red! I am the same way about red lipstick. I've never thought I could wear it but this video made me give it a second thought. ♥️♥️

[@katieeisenhower1168]

Thank you Caroline! I especially appreciated the tips about other makeup on the face to complement the red lipstick, and how to use base around the lips before applying. I adore Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks and have almost all of them. They are matte but not drying and wow do they ever last a long time without settling into my fine lines!

[@judygreeneRedheadbeauty]

I have love Lisa Eldridge lipsticks in Velvet Ribbon♥️ I have 4 shades😍

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks! I have so many!

[@Jo_Cruz]

I never use lipstick because I don't like the shape of my lips and I don't want to call attention to them but this video made me want to put on red lipstick. 💋💄

[@annfarr4605]

Every single one is gorgeous on you, Rosie. Go for it.

[@gailjacobson9736]

Yay Caroline!!! The velvet jazz creates the perfect balance with her hair and skin color. Nailed it!!!

[@kimberleestern]

My favorite red lipstick is Velvet Ribbon from Lisa Eldridge. I am new to wearing red lipstick. I stayed away given my red hair but I am fully on board now

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks! I have so many!

[@kimberleestern]

Katie Eisenhower me too! I also have Velvet Fawn, Myth & Muse as well as Skyscraper Rose

[@weltenbummlerin632]

The last one from Lisa is my favorite; SO amazing on you! But you can definitly wear all of them! Two beautiful ladies together, please do more of this kind of videos. Greetings from Rome

[@wendyfiehler7022]

You mentioned blondes having limitations when wearing red. What about older blond, light complexion ladies w a wrinkly lip line- can they wear red?

[@judithbrown3229]

Love this. Getting my Velvet Jazz one on today.

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks!

[@donaldblack5530]

Morning Caroline. Really enjoyable. My favourite was the Lisa Eldridge shade. Although Rosie did suit them all. You're a wizard 😊

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks! I have so many!

[@leneskov5184]

Excellent - I have never liked a red lip on myself, but after this video I might try again 💄🙂

[@judydenison161]

I only own one red 💄. I struggle too, but, Rosie, those reds on you 👌. I love the Armani one ❣️

[@suzettebuchanan5349]

I love a red lip but am discouraged about it running into my lips lines. I feel I have learned the correct way to apply it. Thank you

[@moneymartin3212]

You nailed it. I knew you would. They look great 💗

[@Akira-fc3qp]

Caroline, I love this video so much since I just converted - and never going back - to wearing red lipstick myself! I love your tips! And btw, I also love that you're mixing white gold with yellow gold :) Much love x

[@teresamesa1232]

Velvet Jazz really suits Rosie. Lovely tutorial.

[@sabaviles]

Of course it was Lisa’s lipsticks that converted her. Of. Course. ❤️

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks! I have so many!

[@obiebarton]

Thanks, Caroline and Rosie. I actually have Your Majesty in my stash but rarely wore it because I felt like it was too much. I took your advice about the rest of the makeup, and wore it last night to our office holiday party. I loved the way it looked and even my eleven year old approved - ‘Your lips are THERE but not OUT THERE’ - a high compliment indeed.

[@georgina3358]

Rosie looks absolutely gorgeous with a red lip. Caroline, you are so right about having a softer lip line when you're a bit older. A great. Informative video!

[@robinbrennan4561]

She looks so much fresher with the red lip! Beautiful!

[@annajohns738]

Love this video! Just got Velvet Ribbon and love it - been wearing it every day to work with minimal makeup elsewhere! 💋💋

[@jaxt7901]

gorgeous. really balances out her face/features. stunning, really.

[@monicawallace329]

Ok I pulled the trigger and bought the Lisa Eldridge lipstick, I have never felt comfortable wearing red lips, and this video has taught me I was going for the wrong hue of red. We shall see.. we shall see.

[@Jean2235177]

The last red was GORGEOUS on her.

[@gillbrown3523]

I loved all of those red lipsticks on Rosie, she really looks fabulous 💄👄

[@nikolateslaize]

Dear Rosie you look gorgeous with red lipstick, please keep wearing it and Caroline you are a magician

[@chickenleg002]

Ghouljah yeahyeahyeah I played it back a couple of times, and then googled. I believe this is the product: makethemake.com/collections/makeup/products/doubule-vit-e-illuminating-balm-hyaluronic-highlighter-gloss?variant=22120146370645 Sadly for me it is full of tocopherol, so I am allergic.

[@elynangel]

She looks stunning with Lisas lipstick....

[@carladelcastillo3326]

You two make a wonderful duo!! You are lovely ladies, and I loved the reds you chose on Rosie. Congratulations Caroline!!

[@kellychuidian9323]

Absolutely stunning Caroline. You got Rosie to love a red lip. Mission accomplished! 👄💋💄

[@gwenloughman3775]

Minimal makeup! What a tip. Rosie looks gorgeous wearing all the reds. I couldn't decide which one was my favourite until you put Lisa's on her! Absolutely stunning. Gorgeous matt finish. I feel a bit cheeky asking this but could you suggest a high street dupe for the Lisa lipstick?

[@bigbird3970]

Rosie you can so wear a red lip! Stunning 👄 Clever Caroline 😊

[@diannalocke997]

Just love Rosie!! Rosie, you look good in all the colors! Caroline, excellent as always!

[@janetteehan8230]

Great job Caroline! Rosie looks beautiful! I especially like the Armani and Lisa's Velvet Jazz. I have Velvet Jazz but it pulls pink on me as many red lipsticks do. The only red lip I can wear is MAC Viva Glam 1. The MAC website describes it as a blue red but it looks warm on me somehow. Its a bit vampy so I only wear it at night and wish to find a "day" red.

[@lizcross4466]

Rosie red lippy looks fabulous on you. I adore lipstick. I feel that lipstick gives the face more shape and I love red. Great video Caroline 💕💕

[@nanal1964]

Rose, you look great with these lipsticks on...

[@charlottelrose3221]

Never been happier to read a video title. Such a good watch, Rosie looked best in the Lisa Eldridge. I'm inspired to wear my reds more often now. My favourite is the Loreal Paris limited edition Isabel Marant collection, shade Palais Royal Field.

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks! I have so many!

[@yvetteszparaga805]

Genius! Love this video Caroline. What sort of red would you put on a fair skin, blue eyes, blonde hair. I think I have quite big lips ( although now wrinkly 🙄) and always feel in a red lip my lips enter a rom before I do. But I do love red lipstick. X

[@susanq4282]

I use to wear red ever day when I was younger. Now I love the fresh SUGAR in the city lip balm for every day cause it's soft and doesn't go in my lip lines. BUT I STILL ROCK A RED FOR HOLIDAY PARTIES🎉

[@kerithompson6134]

Great job Caroline! Rosie, your mouth is one of your best features!!! Your whole face lights up when you smile!!! Thanks for this video!

[@suzannetalbert8799]

You made her go from beautiful to someone who looks like a powerful and stunning CEO

[@63Lsp]

She's so fun to watch!They all look great on her. I still think I can't but maybe will try

[@de15nne1]

She should wear red everyday...beautiful. Agree the #2 and #4 are the best 💋

[@melindadowney4087]

Rosie looks absolutely gorgeous in a red lip! Congratulations Caroline, I do think you have converted her! I must say, Lisa Eldridge has “hands down “ the best lipsticks- simply stunning! 🥰

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks! I have so many!

[@beatricemartin4852]

Beautiful, my favorite on her is velvet jazz.

[@creativy7225]

Great video, thanks so much. Rosie really rocks the red lip colors.

[@karolinas7804]

Aww Rosie is just adorable!

[@goowoomoo]

I am a 54 year old outdoorsy, casual, immature type and red lipstick or any bold lipstick absolutely scares the s**t out of me!!!! Given my personality, etc., I just don't think I can pull that look off, and I am ok with that. I think lips are one of your specialties and Rosie looks awesome!

[@drc4168]

I'm the same, 42. Very attractive without any lipstick, a scholar and quite tomboyish despite my skincare obsession and love of such videos. I spent a small fortune on red lipsticks and gave up after forking out for the Lisa Eldridge and everyone hating it on me!!!!! 😅

[@julietaylor3445]

Rosie looks stunning in all, particularly Lisa Eldridge. Just goes to show how useful it is to seek out advice of make up expert. I did the same thing as assumed I needed pillar box red, which looked too much, but a lovely Clarins lady found me just the right shade of red

[@carleanne]

Wonderful job Caroline

[@louisegray9128]

Caroline, could you suggest a red lip for the more mature blonde please? I’m looking forward to seeing you make up your Mum which you mentioned recently.

[@Clarencewy26]

Thought I couldn't learn anything about a red lip but I stand corrected loved this and the lovely relationship with the gorgeous model x

[@str9047]

All i can say is Ahhhhh.. The difference an expert applying the product can make to the outcome...☺👌👌👌 i feel the Armani looked the best... since im no expert but love red my preferred way of making it work daily is to use it like a flush of colour n reapply as required!

[@nicolajaram1200]

Thankyou

[@becky8851]

Beautiful.

[@emmavazquez5439]

Great shades! Thanks for another fantastic film!

[@maureenormston1687]

Oooh you’ve given me hope about a red lip. The past few weeks I’ve been loitering around the make up displays looking at red lipsticks, trying them out on my hand and putting them back 🙄. It’s the fear of looking like the lovechild of Joan Crawford/Bette Davis in Whatever Happened To Baby Jane 😳. At 64 and with feathering around my lips, I think maybe it’s an accident waiting to happen in that it’ll migrate up to my nostrils and I don’t want to frighten my grandkids at Christmas. However, I think I may get my big girl pants on and head off to Boots and be brave and see if I can find the Holy Grail that is a red lip 😬

[@carolnewlands8630]

"The lovechild of Crawford and Davis in Baby Jane"..was epic..I am 68..and wear red all the time..BUT!! and with minimal eye..tightline and mascara with a cream flesh shadow..I am a New Yorker and was in the fashion biz..I learned a lot..but Caroline is genius..

[@shelbyjoliver]

Do it Maureen!

[@pinkgoddess]

This vid proves you really are truly talented and fantastic at what you do 😊👍🏻 x

[@gailspear2173]

She looks alive now and sharp

[@nflower33]

All looked beautiful ✨

[@jancinedavies6813]

I’ve never been able to wear a red lip, but I just might have to try again. Thanks.

[@julieannehowe5091]

I like them all . Especially 3rd and 4th ones

[@jenv6846]

What is different for blondes??? Sunflower blonde over here!!

[@tymc2564]

I prefer the first one.

[@jacquelinebell611]

Really lovely, well done Caroline!

[@martinaklose]

Tank you for this Caroline. I think you gave a great choice of reds. I love the LISA one. I own it myself, it's a great red!!!

[@katieeisenhower1168]

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks! I have so many!

[@florindalucero3236]

I'm on the West coast of the US so it's morning on Saturday for me when you've uploaded, and right as Rosie says porn star-ish, I had taken a sip of my coffee... If you've never had iced coffee come through your nostrils, in reverse, I don't recommend, but it was a good laugh! Now for my questions; since it's the party season, how do we maintain these lips through the cups of nog, and champagne, the canapes, and cheek kisses? Especially with not-juvenile lips, I spend so much time filling in the cracks, only to lose it all with the first sip and nibble. (PS, I do have LE's Velvet Ribbon, and Jazz)

[@SilverliningsJoni]

I'll have the red lipstick she's having😉

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

Curlygirljj 😂

[@miriamellenbogen7941]

I have the same problem , I also have red hair slightly freckly Any suggestions!

[@jillyfish9528]

Brilliant!!!!!

[@blondienicholson]

love this video!

[@stephaniesnider6178]

Brilliant,

[@olgaraykhelson8072]

When you put a base on the lips slightly, what do you put? Powder or foundation? Thank you, always love all your videos.

[@chrissieasmith]

she has such as stunning smile! the velvet jazz is stunning on her :-)

[@claudiacallaghan7305]

Simply gorgeous!

[@halfamo2422]

Love these - and Rosie, will you talk about your hair? Utterly gorgeous!!

[@MaxineV]

Absolutely lovely.

[@deborahrosen3324]

You’ve selected such beautiful shades of red for Rosie! I wish I lived near you so I could ask for your recommendations for myself 👌😘💄.

[@jillpappas9304]

Wow she looked great in all of them. Makes me want to try a red now because I've always said NO to red..lol

[@iahorvath]

Your friend looks great with red lipstick!

[@LisaMonique]

I have been trying to wear red this winter, it does feel awkward.

[@lisadougherty5999]

Ladies.. Ladies, wonderful video this morning,I love a red lip!! Coffee and Caroline!

[@debbiesanderson8442]

I think these look so lovely. I love a red lip. I would love to see a minimal eye to go with a red lip.

[@emmajoseph5963]

all the reds looked ok on ur freind well chosen 4 her but it all depend on d time of d day really & when i used 2 live in paris my freinds & i used 2 wear it with almost bare face & no shiny area on d face just a thin eye pencil or liner
