Tips for Wearing A Red Dress!

Mira Sorvino / Drew Barrymore

1. If you have dark skin, choose a red dress closer to burgundy. You will also look good in fuchsia, deep plum, and purple.

2. If you have moderately dark skin then you can pull off wearing dresses from deep red to brick red.

3. If you have light skin, opt for a berry or soft plum dress. Choose sheer fabric as it softens the red color.

4. If you are a little heavy, then stay away from a full on red color, instead choose a darker base and accentuate it with red accessories (shoes, a scarf, jewellery, ...).

5. When wearing a red dress, go easy on the make-up. Soften the eye shadow maybe opting for a little shimmer and mascara or eyeliner and mascara for more effect. Lightly dust the rest of the face. Avoid red lipstick with a red dress, instead go for a pale lipstick with gloss.

6. Do not wear black shoes with a red dress unless you are tanned, for a more elegant look, choose tan, high-heeled sandals. (And never pair a red dress with red shoes).
