After you get to know with the types of lipstick, please stay tune on this article since we will discuss about several tips of choosing the correct one based on your skin tone.
It is rather difficult and challenging to wear which lipstick color applied on our lips. Yes, it is true. There are several considerations that we should pay attention, especially the skin tone. It is not a must to wear the same lipstick color with your dress. It is a wrong perception that mostly occurs. Lipstick is supposed to complement your skin tones!
There are two way of considering your skin tone. Firstly, it’s not about how dark or light you are, or even about your hair or eye color, but what the undertone of your skin whether it is bluish (cool) or yellowish (warm). Everyone is either warm or cool and it’s all about your facial coloring: blondes, brunettes and redheads can be either one. How to determine your skin tone? Find one color that is orange or rust and another that is pink or lavender. Rub one color on the apple of your cheek and the other color on the apple of the other cheek and then compare. The color that works will show you your skin tone. If the orange color looks right, you have warm tones; if the pink color looks right, you are cool. So, let’s check it which lipstick color is the most suitable for you:
Warm Colors
Coral, Peachy, Russet, Rust, Amber, Brown, Brick Red, Melon, Salmon, Orange, Sandalwood, Red with yellow undertone, Taupe
Cool Colors
Pink, Raspberry, Cherry, Mulberry, Lavender, Plum, Rose, Strawberry, Crimson, Amethyst, Lilac, Red with blue undertone, Mauve
Secondly, you should check your complexion. What is your skin color? Is it fair, olive, medium, or dark? If you have fair skin, we strongly suggest you to choose lipstick colors, such as: deep, plum reds, berry, and wine reds with a blue undertone. Pink is perfect match for your complexion. Meanwhile, for you who have olive/yellow skin, it is better to choose rich, deep brown reds and deep, dark berry shades. Avoid red, yellow, orange, and pink since it will create yellow effect on your skin. Also, if your skin is medium, please pick rich, deep pinks, deep reds, rich caramel shades, medium brown with yellow or pink undertones, and creamy coffee colored brown lipsticks. However, stay away from pale brown since it will create ashy effect on you. At last, if you are dark, try reds with blue, mahogany, deep plums, wine reds, almost any shade of brown, rich, dark, coffee brown undertones. It will flatter your skin and also please avoid orange.
