Is there anything more French than a good red lipstick? I think not. Here’s an ode to getting the perfect French red lip, as part of your everyday French makeup look.

Shades of Red
There are so many shades of red you can choose from. I don’t think one shade is more French than another. Go with one that suits your skin tone. Consider the season too! A bright red would be suitable for spring and summer, while a darker red would be best for fall and winter.
