If you need further motivation to swipe on that red lipstick, you can easily draw inspo from Yam Concepcion's Instagram feed. It appears to be the Halik actress' go-to shade, and she definitely knows how to commit to it.
Next time you buy a fierce lippie, remember that the secret to wearing red lipstick is choosing something that matches your skin tone AND eye color.
According to Preview, "Knowing your undertones (warm, cool, neutral) will help you tremendously. Once you pick your favorite type of red, research on products that come in the same undertones as your skin to avoid the two from clashing."
