Wearing lipstick is like wearing or carrying any other accessory. It can make you and your outfit standout in an amazing way. However, this is only if you wear the right lipstick. What exactly is the right lipstick you may ask? Well, the answer is that there is no particular lipstick that is right because the perfect lipstick varies depending on skin-tones and skin-shades.
So how does one find the right lipstick that best compliments their skin? Easy! I've come up with a guide with a variety of skin-tones listing which colors are best for that shade! Now ladies, this does NOT mean that you can't branch out and try different lipstick colors. I insist, be adventurous with your lipstick, but always know which is your best color.
Peachy-pinkish colors, nudes and mauves work well with this skin complexion. Wear red lipstick for a bold statement look. Avoid dark and really bright shades of lipsticks. Darker shades tend to contrast too much with pale skin.
Pinks, reds and even bright colors look lovely on beige skin. These colors contrast well against this skin tone.
Raspberry and darker toned lipsticks create a stunning glow on this skin tone. Try to avoid nude lipsticks. Nude lipsticks blend in too well with this skin tone. Although, if you want a nude type of lipstick look, try and wear almost nude pink colors.
Cool & Warm Undertones: The same colors work well with these undertones. Do, however, try and avoid too bright of coral, pink and orange colors. Those colors just over-power your skin and look a bit-too-much.
REDS, REDS, AND MORE REDS! Almost all shades from light-to dark look flattering on dark skin tones. Dark pinks and plum are also pleasing to darker skin tones.

What are these Undertones that you keep mentioning?!
Undertones are key on your path to finding the right lipstick color for your skin tone. Look at your arm and find your veins. Stare at them, observe them and study them! Very well, now determine if they appear bluish in color. If so, then you have cool undertones. Now, if they appear more green than blue, you have warm undertones. Great! Now that you know what undertones are, go back and re-read this post and determine which color is best for you!
HAPPY LIPSTICK HUNTING xx
