If you’ve ever tried a red lipstick but didn’t like the way it looked on you, try Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Black Honey.  It’s very light and not like lipstick but more like a gloss, and the color is semi-sheer, so you don’t get an overpowering red color.  Red lipsticks have different undertones and look different depending on your skin color, but this really does look good on everyone.  I wear it all the time, and have discovered that friends wear it, too.  It may be because a few years ago, In Style named it as the best color lipstick on everyone in their yearly best beauty section.
