The arrays of lipstick colors available are more likely to blow your
mind away and bedazzle you with their variety. All the available
lipstick colors often tend to overwhelm you and may result in you buying
the wrong shade for your skin tone. Not overlooking the fact that most
women look prettiest when they wear lipstick and that this one product
does more than all other beauty products combined, all make lipstick the
numero uno in makeup cosmetics.
Finding the perfect lipstick for your skin tone is not a colossal task.
All that you have to determine is the skin tone of your skin. That is
the first and foremost step towards applying the ideal lipstick color.
You must be mindful of your skin’s natural undertones. Meaning skins
with pink undertones do well with a hint of bluish tint. Yellow skin
undertones should opt for shades of orange and warmer lipstick colors.
Moreover, women with darker skin tone shouldn’t opt for pink shades as
they further highlight the yellowness of their skin tone. Similarly,
olive skin tones shouldn’t go for pale pink shades either. One lipstick
color that everyone should stay away from is the matte bronze colors
which don’t do anything for anyone’s face.
Analyzing your teeth color is as essential as determining the skin tone.
Undertones of blue shade brighten your pearly whites whereas shades of
orange are not suitable for those who have slightly yellow teeth. If
you have yellow teeth than colors like cocoa brown, plum and pink are
most suitable for you.
Sticking close to your natural lip color is the safest way to choose
best lipstick colors. Choosing a shade that is a couple of shades
lighter or darker from your original lip color is the way to go about
it. The easiest way to do this is when buying a lipstick or a lip gloss,
apply it on one lip and examine the shade in a mirror to see hoe it
goes with the natural color of the other lip and the overall skin tone.
Deciding the best lipstick color according to the time of the day is
also necessary. For office hours and morning, pink and nudes are the
safest option. Whereas when it comes to evening and party time, you can
go haywire on your lipstick color and apply darker shades of red, plum
or brick.
Last but not least. You should have a lipstick, lip gloss, or matte lipstick in your makeup bag at all times. You never know when the need arises for you to touch up on your luscious lips.
