There is something about this rich hue that borrows from both red and brown in equal measure, perfectly complementing all skin tones — whether light, dark, or anywhere in between. In fact, there is even a phenomenon known as "the red lip effect," which is proven to attract more attention. Hence, red lipstick is likely to be a staple in many people's makeup kits, even if it is only pulled out for special occasions. If you do have your very own dark red lipstick (or two, or three), perhaps you are looking for some fresh inspo on how to wear it best, so that it's on trend for fall 2023. Don't worry, we are here to help.
