There's a clear division of women when it comes to red lipstick. On one side, there's the small crew that has mastered the art of wearing the hue on a daily basis without smudging or even having to reapply during the day — Taylor Swift is their obvious leader.
And then, there's a much larger crowd — an eager but mighty-confused squad of sorts with just one goal in mind: to find the perfect scarlet shade that complements their skin tone and gives their look that punch they've seen stars from Audrey Hepburn to Jennifer Lopez sport on carpets and interviews for years.
For the Latina women in that gang (who have the added complication of having undertones in basically every shade and color), we reached out to Sir John, a makeup artist with L'Oréal Paris who has worked with Genesis Rodriguez and Eva Longoria. He got real and broke it down for us in a simple way, once and for all. This is it! Get ready to switch sides.
