For your lips, we suggest that you go for a bold shade like Iba’s Maxx Matte Liquid Lipstick – Mystique Maroon or something like the Long Stay Matte Lipsticks – Maroon Burst You can also try red lipstick makeup for a bright statement and try our best red lipstick from the Ultra Matte range and the Maxx Matte Liquid Lipstick range. Don’t forget your blush and highlighter for that extra fresh, dewy glow!

Here is an extra tip for you if you are wearing a deep purple dress. The best lipstick colour with purple dress would be a nude pink finished off with a lip gloss that makes your pink lipstick pop even more. This will give your entire look a very enchanted feel. For your eyes, you can go for a subtle purple smoky look finished off with your eyeliner and your mascara.
Matte and Gloss: Shimmery eyes, matte lips
When confused about what goes well with pastel-colored outfits like sea blue, yellow or green, opt for matte, subtle eyes & glossy rich lips!
Now this combination works well only if you do it in the right way! And we’re here to guide you with the perfectly right way! By matte and gloss we mean, you go in for a matte look for your eyes and pick something glossy for your lips.
Let’s say, you take one of our Must Have Lip and Cheek Tints and do your eyeshadow, with a few simple dabs. Take a little bit of your compact powder, dust off the excess and dab a little over your eye shadow. This will give your eye shadow a matte look and will also make your eye makeup last longer. Finish off with a little kajal on your upper lid and smudge it off for a subtle smoky finish. This matte look creates a bold statement for your eyes.
For your lips, there are beautiful lipstick shades to choose from the Iba’s Moisture Rich Lipstick range and apply two coats. Let it set for 2 minutes and then apply a single coat of Iba Pure Lips Cocoa Butte Lip balm. This will not only make your lips glossy but it will also keep them well hydrated and moisturized. Or you can just wear lip gloss on its own. There are three beautiful shades to choose from, a pretty pink, a nude shade, and a transparent lip gloss which you can wear on its own or you can top it off with your favourite lipstick shade and make it into a glossy lipstick.
Apart from this, if you are looking for a lipstick to go with your red dress then we suggest that you pick the Perfect Red shade from the Maxx Matte Liquid Lipstick Range, which is the prettiest and most beautiful red lipstick ever. This is going to be your prettiest lipstick on a red dress.
