WARM REDS
Red hot: Lily Collins (left), 28, and Kate McKinnon (right), 33, can pull off any shade of red, but both actresses opted for warm-toned, orange-red cream options yesterday
Fierce and fiery: Orange-red lip colors also complemented the warm complexions of actress Yael Grobglas (left), 33, and TV presenter Jameela Jamil (right), 31
Look better in gold jewelry than silver? Chances are, you have warm undertones.
While it's not a hard-and-fast rule, warm-toned lipsticks, like those that read as much orange as red, are best-suited toward women with warm undertones, particularly those with olive and yellow-hued skin.
Luckily, the fiery red shade is hot right now, so finding one in any texture - whether stain, liquid, cream or balm - has never been easier.

COOL REDS
Hear her ROAR in red: Katy Perry, 32, wore a blue-based red lip color to perform at her Katy Perry - Witness World Wide Exclusive YouTube Livestream Concert in LA on Monday
They've got the blues: For the premiere of 47 Meters Down, Claire Holt (left), 29, matched her cool-toned red lipstick to her crimson dress. Uzo Aduba (right), 36, wore a similar shade in NYC
They wore it, too! Karina Smirnoff (left), 39, and Keesha Sharp (right), 44, also stepped out in bold, blue-based red lip hues
On the flip side, women with cooler undertones (think: you gravitate toward silver jewelry over gold), tend to look best in a red lipstick with a purple or blue base.
At yesterday's premiere of 47 Meters Down in LA, both star Claire Holt, 29, and attendee Karina Smirnoff, 39, wowed in crimson shades. Elsewhere, Uzo Adubo, 36, and Keesha Sharp, 44, also posed for pictures wearing the lip hue, proving that it looks fantastic on a wide spectrum of ages and skin tones.
A blue-based red lipstick even held its own against the silver sequined outfit and google-y eye make-up that Katy Perry, 32, wore to perform at her Witness World Wide concert.

TRUE REDS
Ladies in red! Olivia Munn (left), 36, and Hilary Duff (right), 29, modeled cherry red pouts
Neutral territory: Zoe Kravitz (left), 28, matched her lips to her scarlet jumpsuit at the premiere of Rough Night, while Kristen Bell (right), 36, wore the shade to an event for The Good Place
Ravishing in red: Cherry lips also suited actress Ruby Modine (left), 26, and Katherine Schwarzenegger (right), 27
When people talk about cherry red, they're most often referring to a true or neutral red.
These hues are neither too warm nor too cool and are almost always universally flattering.
Their versatility explains why everyone from Olivia Munn and Kristen Bell, both 36, to Zoe Kravitz, 28, and Hilary Duff, 29, slicked one on at some point yesterday. They also tend to pair well with red clothing, which was sartorial trick employed by Zoe, Hilary and actress Ruby Modine, 26.
