" &amp;quot;A perfect red lipstick is something every woman needs in her arsenal,&amp;quot; according to Chanel makeup artist Rachel Goodwin. &amp;quot;Like the little black dress of beauty, it&amp;#039;s absolutely timeless.&amp;quot; Classic it may be, but finding the right shade of red lipstick can be a quest\u2014one that Chanel&amp;#039;s newly formulated Rouge Allure Luminous Intense Lip Colour line aims to ease. The lipsticks, which just launched on Chanel.com for $34 apiece, come in six different shades of red meant to complement all skin tones. But which to choose? &amp;quot;I typically go with colors based on complexion rather than hair or eye color,&amp;quot; Goodwin suggests. &amp;quot;I know the rule has always been to match cool skin with cool shades and warm shades to warm skin tones, but I actually prefer the opposite approach. For a more powerful pout, try working against your skin&amp;#039;s natural undertone. If you have cool undertones, try a more orange-based red, and if you have golden undertones try a blue-based red.&amp;quot; With that advice in mind, five ELLE staffers put the new hues\u2014which have been specifically formulated to be hydrating, intensely pigmented, and long-wearing\u2014to the test. See what they thought, below. Julie Schott, ELLE Assistant Beauty Editor, in Inimitable  Photo: Shanna Ravindra &amp;quot;Whenever I wear red lipstick, I get smear paranoia and expect the color to end all over my teeth or below my nose. It&amp;#039;s a problem. I do love this shade though. It has these pinprick glitter flecks that I&amp;#039;m convinced make lips look bigger, and it&amp;#039;s hydrating enough that you don&amp;#039;t really need to layer a balm underneath.&amp;quot; Krista Soriano, ELLE.com Articles Editor, in Coromandel  Photo: Shanna Ravindra &amp;quot;I love reds\u2014on other people. On myself, I&amp;#039;m more drawn to mellow, natural tones. But this red could be just as much jeans-and-T-shirt as Hollywood premiere, and I&amp;#039;m all for a little sophistication on a dress-down day. I&amp;#039;m liking the subtle shine, too.&amp;quot; Lauren Valenti, ELLE.com Intern, in Incandescente  Photo: Shanna Ravindra &amp;quot;I have a penchant for bold lipstick, and this orangey red rouge is the perfect complement to my fair skin and blonde hair. The shade will be especially fitting as the season transitions from summer to autumn.&amp;quot; Amina Akhtar, ELLE.com Executive Editor, in Pirate  Photo: Shanna Ravindra &amp;quot;I never wear red lipstick\u2014in fact, I&amp;#039;ve avoided it my entire makeup-wearing life. But Chanel&amp;#039;s Pirate red had the right mix of red and blues to work with my skin tone. Not too bright, not too red, and definitely my new go-to.&amp;quot; Lauren Levinson, ELLE.com Fashion News Editor, in Palpitante  Photo: Shanna Ravindra &amp;quot;This hue looks cherry red in the tube but wears with a hint of fuchsia. I received compliments from my coworkers that it&amp;#039;s definitely a flattering, party-ready shade. Perhaps it will be my New York Fashion Week staple?&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
