Perfect Shade for Every Skin Tone

Let’s be honest. The majority of us cannot live without our favorite lipstick, and if we do not wear our favorite lipstick, our appearances are compromised.

In the world of celebrities, wearing lipstick makes you feel naked without it. As a fashion and style utility, lipstick plays an essential role in everyday life. Choosing the right shade of lipstick can instantly lift that person’s mood and give them a captivating appearance. Additionally, lipstick keeps lips supple and moist while protecting them from the sun.

Shades affect how we perceive the world:

Pay attention, ladies! Scientists have found that wearing makeup can boost cognitive performance and make you feel smarter. Women who wear makeup have a higher likelihood of earning high academic grades.

The ‘lipstick effect’ is a psychological phenomenon that occurs when someone wears cosmetics, causing an increase in their self-esteem and attitude. Several studies have found that cosmetics have a significant psychological impact on their wearers, particularly by boosting their self-esteem and enhancing their physical attractiveness.

Let’s talk about practical and functional points. Almost all of us have collected several lipstick colors over the years. However, only a few shades from these collections get worn all the time. Most of the time, we purchase shades without considering whether they are suitable for use before purchasing them. The variety of shades available today makes it nearly impossible to determine what to pick and what to avoid.

How to Choose Lipstick Shades:

Below are some simple pointers to help you find the right lipstick shade. To choose a lip color that matches your skin tone, you should first evaluate the shade of your skin. Follow the general rule of thumb by systematically checking your wrist in the light to observe the color of your veins.

• If you have a lighter skin tone, the veins on your wrist will appear blue. With cooler undertones, a person’s skin tends to be fairer. The silver jewelry they wear seems more appealing to them than gold jewelry. For fair skin, stick to reds that are tinged with blue and pinks with blue undertones, along with soft mocha colors. When choosing a red lip, consider deep bluish-reds (cherry red) over more orange ones. Nude also works well. For nude lips, a touch of pink will compliment your natural flush. Taupe beige is better for a more subtle look. A tinted balm will adjust to your lip’s color and complement many different looks (and it will hydrate your lips as well).

• If your skin tone is warmer, then your veins on the wrist may appear green. Gold jewelry looks good on their tanned skin. Generally, warm-toned individuals have a golden hue to their skin. There is one more way to determine your undertones. If gold looks better than silver on you, then you likely have warm undertones. Your favorite colors are deep reds with hints of orange, Berry Plum, Copper Brown, and Bronze.

• 

• Blue-green veins can appear on skin tones with neutral undertones. This type of undertone is called olive undertones. People with neutral complexions can wear shades from both the warm and cool sides, and they look good with both silver and gold jewelry. Olive-toned skin and yellow undertones look best in coral, hot pink, or rose. Pink hues work best on fair skin, mauve colors on medium skin, and berry colors on darker skin.

• 

Avoid matte and dark shades if you have thin lips because these shades tend to make your lips look slimmer than they are. Go for a lipstick with lip plumper instead. Your lips will appear plumper and fuller with lighter shades of gloss and shimmer.

If you are looking for a lipstick that you can wear daily, choose a shade that is a little darker than your natural lip color. If you want to check its suitability, you can apply it to the lower lip and compare it to the upper lip. 

A shade can never go wrong when it comes to service. A classic red lipstick will look great on any skin tone and any age group. The only thing you need to pull this off is confidence!

Buying advice:

• Never buy lipstick without trying it first. Do not forget to remove the old shade using a makeup remover before trying a new shade.

• To get the most accurate idea of the shade, try the lipstick in a well-lit area with little or no makeup on your face.

If you are unsure about anything, ask the professionals at the makeup counters for their advice.

Final Words:

If you have trouble choosing the right lip color for your skin tone, remember that your undertone will determine the shade you pick. Cool undertones complement light lipsticks, warm undertones suit warm lipsticks, and neutral undertones work both ways.

Skin tone and undertones are two different things. The depth of your skin can be evaluated by its tone (fair, medium, dark, deep), and it varies according to the seasons (fairer in cooler months, deeper in warmer months). Next, there are undertones, which reflect the base of your skin. Believing fair skin cannot be warm or deep skin cannot be cool is simply an urban legend.

Overall: You should pick a lip color that feels good on you.
