How to Find the Perfect Shade of Lipstick for Your Skin Tone
Finding the perfect shade of lipstick for your skin tone can be tricky, but there are a few tips that can help you make the right choice:
Determine your skin tone: First, you need to determine your skin tone. This can be done by looking at the veins on your wrist. If your veins look blue or purple, you have cool undertones. If they look green or yellow, you have warm undertones. If you can’t determine whether your veins are blue or green, you likely have neutral undertones.
Choose a shade based on your undertones: Once you’ve determined your undertones, choose a lipstick shade that complements them. If you have cool undertones, look for shades with blue or purple undertones. If you have warm undertones, look for shades with yellow or orange undertones. If you have neutral undertones, you can wear both cool and warm shades.
Consider your complexion: The depth of your complexion can also play a role in the shade of lipstick that looks best on you. If you have fair skin, look for lighter shades of lipstick like pinks, nudes, or light corals. If you have medium skin, you can wear a wider range of shades including mauves, berries, and darker pinks. If you have deeper skin, look for shades with more pigment like deep reds, plums, and burgundies.
Try it on: Always try on the lipstick before purchasing it. Lipstick can look different on your skin than it does in the tube, so it’s important to see how it looks on you before you buy it.
Experiment: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different shades and finishes. Some shades may surprise you and look great on you even if they aren’t what you would normally choose.
