I’m a little predicable and boring. I tend to use the same red polish for my pedicures, I’ve tried other fashion colors, like Vamp and other Reds but always go back to Dovima by NARS.
It is the perfect shade, illuminating my soft glowing skin, and works beautifully with my YSL patent leather sandals. Recently I discovered other amazing shades by NARS like China Town and Jungle Red – but believe it or now it’s that shade of Orgasm that has me enthralled!

Finding Your Perfect Shade of Crimson
After interviewing Oscar Winning Makeup Artist Michele Burke I finally understood the differences with finding the perfect shade of Red – You will either have a warm or cool skin tone – If you’re like me and fall in-between, look at the color of your teeth, do they look pearly white or yellow? The desired effect is glowing skin and pearly white teeth, choose the red that gives you both.
Michele’s Red Lipstick Tips
Warm skin tones: Have greenish-blue veins and creamy-white teeth, they look best in Fire engine reds, watermelon, oranges and nectarines. For pink reds I recommend coral, tangerine, peach or salmon.
Cool skin tones: Have bluish veins and their teeth are usually blue/white or gray/white they can wear maroon, burgundy, fuchsia or raspberry reds, anything with a pink undertone.
