Finding the best red lipstick for your complexion
FAIR COMPLEXION
CHERRY
According to makeup artiste, Susie Sobol, cherry reds contrast with pink undertones in fair skin to make lips pop. Enhance by adding a little pink blush, crisp black liner, and black mascara.
FAIR COMPLEXION
CRANBERRY
If you are looking for something more grown-up, rich cranberry warms up fair skin tones and makes you look sophisticated and not vampire-ish
FAIR COMPLEXION
WINE
The effect of wine red lipstick against porcelain skin is striking. Make up artist Sobol suggests those with lighter skin stay away from brown and brick reds.
MEDIUM COMPLEXION
ORANGE-RED
This fiery orangey shade is great against warm or medium complexions.
MEDIUM COMPLEXION
BLACKBERRY
The blackberry - red lipstick is sophisticated on medium complexions, especially when blended with a creamy berry blush over the apples of your cheeks.
DARK COMPLEXION
TANGERINE
This orange punch shade really stands out against darker skin tones. To make it last, first fill in lips with a lip-liner in the same shade as the lipstick.
DARK COMPLEXION
MAROON
This deep, deep red is elegant and flattering against dark skin. Stronger shades look best with little makeup elsewhere.
DARK COMPLEXION
RASPBERRY
This bright raspberry lipstick complements dark complexions. Top it with clear lip gloss for a juicy finish.

Photos: The girl with 16 inch waist
Model Kelly Lee Dekay went to extreme lengths to get an hourglass figure with
7 years continued use of bone corset which slimmed her waist down to a tiny 16 inches.
Dekay, 27, says she was a tomboy growing up, but accentuated her curves as a way to emulate her favourite female comic book characters, like Storm.
"I have no interest in doing anything smaller than 16 because I really love the ratio and I'm more than satisfied," she says.
Two human skulls, a jawbone, and several books on Satan and witchcraft found in Connecticut
Police in Connecticut are investigating the discovery of two human skulls found at a dump on Thursday.
An employee at the Stamford Refuse Transfer Station reportedly found two human skulls, a jawbone, and several books on Satan and witchcraft while sifting through trash.
It was initially thought to be a Halloween prank, but the medical examiner's office confirmed that the skulls are human.
Police want to determine a cause of death to see if they can track down where the skulls came from.
The Hartford Courant reports that human skulls can be bought on the black market or online from medical supply houses, but there's also the possibility that the bones could have been taken from a grave.

Halle Berry unveils her own Lingerie line
Halle Berry is branching off into lingerie fashion venture of her own. She is teaming up with 80-year-old French intimates brand 'Scandale Paris' for a 10-piece collection ranging from $7 for underwear to $18 for bras. The line is available at Target.
Shop the Scandale Paris collection in select Target stores and at target.com.
Read Halle Berry's interview with Essence:
ESSENCE.com: Why Target? It's very affordable. It's for the everyday woman. Why that brand?
HALLE BERRY: That's why, because I have over the years liked some amazing pieces of lingerie. They were a small fortune, and most of them given to me because I refuse to pay $200 for a bra, but companies have sent them to me and I've enjoyed them. I thought this is great that somebody sent to me, but can real women really go and spend $200 on one bra? It never quite made sense.
But I love lingerie, and like I said in the top, I have friends that wear the same $200 bra until it falls apart, and I thought something's not right here. If you can partner with Target, and you manufacture with La Perla because he knows how to do it, if he can make a quality product and we can sell it for $16 at Target, and it's something that's on the level of any great product, it's not going to fall apart, that's quality, and I thought that's a win for us and it's a win for the consumer because they can have a collection of bras now. You don’t have to wear one until it falls apart, you can wear a different one everyday and you haven't broken your bank.
That for me was really important to offer that to women.
ESSENCE.com: Is this only going to be sold at Target?
BERRY: It's only going to be sold in Target, it's just we're starting sort of small with our signature collection, and then we're going to roll it out. We're starting in some of their bigger stores to launch, and then we'll go out into all the smaller stores with more. As we'll roll into the spring with a whole spring line that's a different colour way than these colours are. Then we'll have a different collection for summer, then a different collection for fall. Then we'll go in with different styles then what's standing, trying to be seasonal at the same time.
ESSENCE.com: Was this lingerie line developed at home?
BERRY: Yes. Being married to him, honestly, he has held me to a standard because he's from there (Paris) and so he's very picky about, you know, if I don’t have on something quite right he's like, "What's this?" Okay. It's that time of the month so I chose some red. In three days, I'll be back. He holds me to it, and that's nice. It's nice to have a man that notices and cares.
ESSENCE.com: And appreciates it.
BERRY: ...and appreciates it, yes, and appreciates it.
ESSENCE.com: Will Molly Woods be wearing Scandale next season?
BERRY: Of course. Of course.
ESSENCE.com: Are there any plans to partner with the show Scandal?
BERRY: Not right now, but, you know, if it's a good thing who knows?
ESSENCE.com: What do you say to women who stop wearing lacy, gorgeous underwear and feel there’s no reason to pay attention to that?
BERRY: Many women do that when they have children. They become moms, and they lose their mojo. They lose their sexy, they lose their femininity, they lose their womanhood because they reduce themselves to moms. Not that it's a reduction, but we're moms, but we're every other thing. We're women, too. We're entrepreneurs, we're career women, and we're moms. Moms might be our greatest role, but all these other roles have agency too. We can't forget that. I think our partners love us for not forgetting that we're not just moms.
ESSENCE.com: We appreciate that you're not a 22 year-old Victoria's Secret model walking around like that. We love that you're still selling a really sexy product that's great for mature women. It sends a nice message.
BERRY: Our bras, too, fit women that are not Victoria's Secret skinniness. Our line is going to go up to G size so it's going to be for women of all bodies and shapes.
