best red lipstick for olive skin

Sephora customers often prefer the following products when searching for best red lipstick for olive skin.

Red lipstick is a classic look that can be worn by all for everyday makeup looks and glam looks alike. If you have olive skin, however, you may find that reds tend to be too bright, too dark, or generally wash you out. For olive undertone skin, we recommend going with yellow or orange based reds (think: warm reds like coral). Anything too cool can tend clash with your beautiful skin and dull out your complexion. Here are our top picks for best red lipstick for olive skin available at Sephora.

It's better than the original line -- although, the finish is a bit glossy/shiny. Love it!!!
