Does red lippie equal yellow looking teeth?!!

lisamarie · Does red lippie equal yellow looking teeth?!!

Hi, Its a special birthday of mine coming up and I really dont want my teeth to look yellow against the red lippie i wear in the photos?!!! Please help with any ideas? I have very dark brown hair, blue eyes, peachy skin and am wearing a red and leopard skin print wiggle dress? x Confused

If you get the right shade of red it won't make your teeth look yellow. I think the blue-tinted reds help make them look whiter Smile

I couldn't say what a blue-tinted red is though, or give you any examples... Confused

I would be inclined not to choose something from the orange/red end of the spectrum, I would travel over to the lighter end of the brown/burgundy/purple reds, if that make any sense at all.

If not, arm your self with make-up remover wipes and hit the tester stands or go see the lovely make-up artists at mac, they always give the best advice.

I don't think there is a MAC anywhere near me Sad

When people say 'blue' based it tends to be the pinker toned ones,a nice rich cherry red sounds like it would work well. They have make up counters usually in boots or debenhams, they may be able to help you? I used to like Liz Collinges make up as it was split into different sections for different skin tones but does not exist anymore. : (

I honestly agree with Ruby's advice. Blue-tinted red lipsticks do make your teeth look whiter, the one I've got is MAC Russian Red if that helps as a starting point for your perfect red.
