Lipstick Color

Choosing a lipstick color that suits you is quite a task, with so many shades available. You love that pink shade of lipstick, pay a good amount of money, and wear it only to find out that it’s a slip-up. Before going for a particular lipstick color , having it tested by rubbing in a little of it on your wrist is a good idea , most of the times there are tester lipstick colors that allow you to wear and see for yourself if they go well on your skin.

Choosing Lipstick Color

Always go for a color that goes well with your skin tone and one that accentuates your natural lip color.
For a day event and if you have to look your best with the right lipstick color, go for lighter subtle shades of colors than bold, full colors. Lighter lipstick colors add that elegance, simple yet sophisticated touch to your entire personality without being too loud, you wouldn’t want to look all garish.
Matte and cream lipstick colors are ideal for daytime; a clear lipstick color with some gloss also looks good during the day.
Darker, glossy shades can be carried well if you have to attend a night party.
Always apply lip liners that are a tone darker than your lipstick color and that belong to the same shade of colors.
If you don’t find the same shade of lipstick color , you could mix in two shades together to get a lip color of your choice , one that goes with your outfit , this an interesting way of blending and getting desired lipstick colors.
Once you use tester lipsticks to check if they suit your complexion and skin tone , seeing under natural light gives you a better idea.
Apply lip liners after you have filled in your lips with the lipstick color, so that it blends in well and you don’t end up with just the lip liner if your lipstick wears away after few hours.
If your eye make up is heavy, go subtle with your lipstick color or if you have simple eye make-up, you could go for a bolder heavy looking lips for a night time party, is balances your entire look without looking too loud and garish.
Applying just some lip gloss to your lips gives you a soft fresh look , especially during summers.
Darker shades of lipstick colors go well for dark skinned women while light, nude and subtle shades look good on fair skins.
Brown, bronze shades of lipstick colors suit almost everyone from light skin to dark skin, these are ideal for working women.
Bold reds are a perfect color for a romantic evening if you have a skin tone that can carry it with élan.
