Check out how to smear your lips red step by step, without looking like a clod.

1. Know your skin tone. This is the single most important factor in wearing red lipstick so listen up. If your skin has pink undertones, stick to reds that have a pink base. If you're pale and pink, try lipsticks that have a touch of blue.

2. Use the pad of your finger instead of the back while choosing a color for yourself. This will give you a better indication of how the color will look on your lips.

3. Use a lip balm to soften, and an old toothbrush to scrub away flakes and rub off any excess balm to keep the lipstick from sliding right off.
