今秋紅唇妝再度流行，一入紅唇深似海，口紅的學問大著呢。專家指出，口紅並非「生而平等」，不同膚色的人應選擇不同色調的口紅，為了避免各位愛美的姐妹「踩雷」，特送上這份口紅終極指南。
Autumn/winter has seen many classic beauty trends come to the fore once again but perhaps the most impactful of them all is the return of the red lip.
今年秋冬季，我們看到了很多經典美妝潮流的復甦，不過，最有影響力的或許要算紅唇的回歸。
The equivalent to slipping on a LBD, women have long declared a scarlet pout their bold and beautiful go-to, but this year its presence on the catwalk felt more significant than ever.
長久以來，女人一直將鮮紅雙唇視為大膽而美麗的宣言，地位等同於小黑裙，而今年口紅在T臺上比以往都顯得更重要。
At a time when gender equality has been at the heart of our discourse, many designers made reference to female empowerment in their collections, while others chose to convey women’s strength with parades of powerful red lips.
在性別平等成為核心話題的今天，許多設計師都會在作品中體現出女權色彩，而其他一些設計師則選擇用強有力的紅唇來傳達女性的力量。
At Brandon Maxwell and No 21, sharply sculpted cherry-red lips were the look du jour while Rochas and Cushnie Et Ochs stepped over to the dark side with bold, berry hues.
在布蘭登·麥克斯威爾和No 21時裝秀場上，線條清晰的櫻桃紅唇是最流行的唇色，而羅莎和奧克斯秀場則更愛大膽的漿果暗紅色。
Elsewhere, Alexander McQueen enhanced the dramatic nature of red lipstick with a satin finish and pared back makeup but it was Erdem where we saw the most memorable pout.
與此同時，亞歷山大·麥昆秀場選擇用低調的妝容襯託明媚的霧面紅唇，但最讓人難忘的唇妝出現在艾爾丹姆秀場上。
Here, inspired by his mother, the designer created a prominent smoky lip that blurred at the edges.
受自己母親的啟發，設計師艾爾丹姆打造出一款邊緣模糊的煙燻唇妝，十分醒目。
When it comes to wearing red lipstick IRL (In Real Life), it’s important to remember that not all lipsticks are created equal; the shade and formula you choose can make for totally different looks.
如果是在現實生活中畫唇妝，有必要牢記，不是所有的口紅都是「生而平等」的；你所選擇的口紅顏色和配方會打造出完全不同的妝容。
So, how do you know which one to pick?
那麼，到底該怎麼選擇口紅呢？
If you want a formula that’s going to last all day, your best bet is a matte lipstick. Known for their staying power, matte formulas are more pigmented and impactful but they do require careful application and can be drying.
如果你想要一款效果能持續一整天的口紅，最好的選擇就是啞光口紅。以持久力強著稱的啞光口紅顏色更濃更有力，但啞光口紅需要精心塗抹，而且會發乾。
Alternatively, satin formulas are a more user-friendly option. Designed with a natural shine, they apply smoothly to the lips for a saturated flush of color and err on the more hydrating side when compared to matte lipsticks.
另一方面，絲絨口紅則更易塗抹。絲絨口紅能讓雙唇煥發出自然的光彩，帶給嘴唇絲滑的觸感和飽滿的顏色，相比啞光口紅也更補水。
For a heavy dose of evening glamour, you also have the option of high shine or gloss formulas.
如果想讓雙唇在夜晚大放異彩，你還可以選擇炫彩口紅或液體口紅。
While picking the right shade of red is down to personal preference much of the time, there are a few pointers you can follow if you’re not sure where to start.
至於如何選擇合適的口紅顏色，多數時候全看個人喜好，但如果你不確定從哪下手，可以遵循下面幾條建議。
Those with fair skin will benefit from blue-based reds with cooler tones which will help complement your complexion without washing it out, while olive skin works best with orange-based reds and punchy wine shades.
皮膚白的人適合用冷色調的藍底口紅，既能和膚色互補又能讓你顯白，而黃褐色皮膚與橙底紅色和濃鬱的葡萄酒色的口紅最配。
In general, darker complexions can pull off the widest varieties of shades with everything from super-bright orangey-reds to cool blue tones and earthy brown shades ticking all the boxes.
總體來說，深色皮膚的人可以駕馭從亮橘紅到冷藍色調等多種顏色的口紅，而大地色系的口紅適合所有膚色的人。
