Last week, a reader asked for suggestions for eye makeup to pair with red lips, as they are so bold. Though you can certainly wear a bold lip with bold eye makeup, softer eye makeup tends to be easier — these looks reflect five softer looks that work well with red lips.

Kind of, haha!
Do you have a section to search this blog? I see above it says search google, but I wanted to limit my search to only your blog. I actually always wear a nude lip and wanted to search and see if you had any posts similar to this.

P.S. I love that you can wear any lip color. I can’t wear red. It’s the weirdest thing. I’ve tried to find a red for years but it doesn’t compliment my face the way a nude does. + trust me, I’ve tried every color. I work at Sephora. Haha.
We use Google to power our search, so you will only search the blog when you use the search field!
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks for these, Christine! I always do a more neutral eye, or TRY TOO, and it ends up coming out too dark. These are great!!!
Love them all. Love that Dragon! Too bad I found it too bright when I tried it on.
My question is not what eye to wear but what BLUSH? I’m always stumped about what color cheek to use with a red lip. I just never know what will look the best..
You could do something natural – like a tan/brown, or you could do a berry/plum.
