Are u meant to blot red lipstick/lipgloss?

it just looks too much against my medium tanned indian skin ...



Blotting gloss seems really counterproductive to me. Perhaps you need a more sheer red gloss. Cover girl makes a very good sheer red. You can blot lipstick to both mute the color or to make it more like a stain so it will last longer. (Ooh! Try a red lip stain!)





As for lipstick, you will need to experiment with different shades of red. If the one you're trying is too blue in tone, try a warmer brick or orangey red. If it's too warm, try a cooler tone.





Also, you may find that just one color won't do it for you. Take a few different reds and blend away.




If it looks too much why don't you try going with a different shade. If your skin is tan I found that using lighter shades like lighter brown shades. Golds and shimmery earth tones work well. I tan on a regular basis and I wear gold. It is a good contrast.




lipstick, yes...blot it at least once...lip gloss...not so sure. Shouldn't be put on so thick that it needs to be blotted.
