Make Your Lips Pop With a Super Red Lipstick

Celebs who prove that red lipstick does look amazing on black women

 
It’s been a long standing taboo that red lipstick is an ‘avoid’ shade for black and darker complexioned women. People used to cite that the effect looked ‘clownish’ against darker skin in particular or that we shouldn’t be drawing attention to our full lips with such a bright colour. Therefore many black women avoid the signature red lip purely out of fear that they won’t or don’t suit it.

Toss out that outdated mantra. There are so many red lipsticks on offer that suit every skin tone, so you’re bound to find something that suits you.

Not only are we bringing you the celebs who owned the red lip trend, we are bringing you 10 jaw dropping red lipsticks that look amazing on darker skin tones. You don’t have to dodge the red anymore!
