If you'd rather look like Monroe than Manson (Marilyn, that is), use our foolproof guide to find the perfect shade of red lipstick for your skin tone.
Pink-toned pale skin
Pick a rich raspberry red for classic looks.
Yellow-tones pale skin
Use a warmer, flame-coloured shade.
Olive or Asian Skin
Orangey reds suit yellow-based skin tones, so go for bright and bubbly, rather than rich and berry-like.
Black skin
Wine or burgundy reds look super-glam - anything too bright can appear garish.
