Buy Cocktail Dress

I am wondering what colour lipstick to wear with a blood red halter knee-length cocktail dress (with a little bit of black detail). I am going to wear my hair in a bun with black shoes and bag. Will I look like an idiot if my lipstick is the same colour as my dress? My normal brown lippie looks horrible with it.

Your lipstick should go with your own coloring not necessarily the dress. It should compliment your skin tone and teeth. Try some of the new fall shades that have come out. If your coloring tends to be on the more yellower warmer side you can try peaches and corals. If your coloring tends to be on the pinker cooler side try roses, reds and burgundys. I agree stay away from the browns this time. If you have a Sephora or an Ulta cosmetic store near you, you can try on different shades til your hearts content. Have fun and Enjoy!
