Lighter Skin Tones, For Day
According to Soliz, the most important thing to remember when wearing a red lip is that it's an accessory — a high-impact addition that enhances the rest of your outfit to create an overall look. Also, remember that all red lips require some maintenance, so don't expect to apply a color this bold and not have to do a few touch-ups — that's just not realistic. In general, Soliz says that if you are looking to wear a red lip during the day and want an effect that's a little more subtle, choose a sheerer shade and warm the color up on the back of your hand, then use your finger to press it into your lips. This will give the color a more natural finish, making it appear softer as opposed to more done. For fair lasses, Soliz says to look for corals or those reds with peachy undertones — they will complement what's already in your peaches and cream complexion. Or, do as Soliz has done here on Kristen and pick a true red — it's a color that flatters literally every skin tone.

His picks: Bare Escentuals Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Tarnish in Busted (on Kristen), Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural in #N45, and Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick in Icon.
