Are red lips right for you?

This bold and beautiful look doesn't have to be saved for the evenings on the red carpet because, let's face it, most average women don't come across those very often. Famous musician Gwen Stefani often rocks the red look on her lips. While the star doesn't always don the bright shade of red, she offers a few thoughts on the subject.

"People think they see me every day, but they don't! I change it up. But my husband really loves the red, so I keep the red because I want to keep the husband," the A-lister told Real Beauty.

Stefani mixes a few different shades of gloss together to achieve her unique look. With these helpful hints, you can be on your way to rocking red in no time.

First, choose the right shade of red for your skin tone. If your complexion has a yellow tone, a warmer shade of red combined with brown undertones is likely the best look for you. On the other hand, if your skin appears more pink or red, you should use a red with a pink or blue base.

Many people wear red lipstick to command attention, but you don't want to appear like you're channeling your inner-clown. In order to pull off this look successfully, keep the rest of your makeup subtle. With a layer of red on your lips, you'll be emphasizing your smile, so be sure to keep your eye makeup and blush simple.

By combining gloMinerals Lipstick, a product with nature inspired colors, with a layer of Jane Iredale lip drink SPF 15, you can give yourself bright lips with an extra shine.
