With just one swipe, the right shade of red lipstick can instantly add glamour, sophistication and sex appeal. For Madhuri Dixit, red lips are perfectly creamy in texture- matte red lipsticks tend to look too harsh.

For Darker Skin Tones:

Choose orange-based reds such as Chanel's Rouge Allure lipstick in Audace.

For Lighter Skin Tones:

Choose blue-based reds such as Bourjois Sweet Kiss in No. 56

Tip: Always fill in lips with a nude pencil before applying red lipstick. Try Benefit's Automatic lip liner in Naked Ambition.
