How To Find Your Perfect Lip Color - Sahaar Turner
Are you tired of trying on lipsticks that don’t quite match your skin tone? Finding the perfect lipstick color can be a challenge, but it’s achievable with the right guidance. Here’s how to find your perfect lipstick color based on skin tone.
1. Identify your skin tone:
Before you can determine the perfect lipstick color for you, it is important to first identify your skin tone. You can do this by looking at the veins on your inner wrist. If they appear blue, you have a cool skin tone; if they appear green, you have a warm skin tone.
2. Choose a lipstick shade that compliments your skin tone:
If you have a cool skin tone, opt for a lipstick with blue, purple, or pink undertones. For those with a warm skin tone, choose a lipstick with yellow, orange, or brown undertones.
3. Consider your complexion:
If you have a fair complexion, opt for lighter shades such as pale pinks or corals. If you have a mixed complexion, choose shades such as muted pinks, mauves, and berries. For richer and darker complexions, opt for darker shades such as deep berries and plums.
4. Consider your lip shape:
If you have full lips, choose a lipstick with a glossy finish as this will help to enhance your lips. If you have thinner lips, opt for matte lipstick as this will help to give your lips a fuller appearance.
5. Test out the color:
Once you have identified the perfect lipstick color for you, the best way to test it out is to swatch the color on the back of your hand. This will help you to get an idea of how the color looks on your skin and if it is the right shade for you. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Lipstick is a great way to express yourself and try out new looks. Sometimes the unexpected shades can be the most beautiful.
Finding the perfect lipstick color is all about understanding your skin tone and experimenting with different shades. With a little bit of trial and error, you’ll be able to find the perfect lipstick color for your skin tone.
