What to Consider When Choosing a Lipstick Color

Here are the things to consider when looking for the right color lipstick to wear.

Skin Tone

Don’t have to limit yourself to dark shades only if you have darker skin. Or pale shades if you have lighter skin. The only thing that matters most is the skin undertones. It’s all about the look you’re trying to achieve.

Complexion Undertones

• Cool skin tone – Those with cool undertones have a pink or slight blue color to the skin. One trick to know your undertone is to look at your veins. If you have a cool complexion, your veins will look more blue.
• Warm skin tone –  Warm complexions are a bit more golden or yellow. Those with warm undertones have veins that look slightly green.
• Neutral skin tone – People with neutral undertones sit somewhere in the middle. Their veins often appear blueish green. The best thing thing is that neutral complexions can shine with just about any color.

Lipstick shades also have neutral, warm, and cool undertones. You can definitely find the most flattering lipstick colors that have the same undertones as your skin. When choosing red lipstick, consider whether it leans towards blue/purple or orange/yellow. Blue/Purple dazzles on cool undertones, while orange/yellow looks stunning on warm undertones. The same rule applies to mauve, pink, brown, and just about everything in between. Some colors are more warm or cool, so you can take that into consideration too. Orange lipsticks are inherently warm-toned and may suit people with warm or neutral complexions best. Shades like fuchsia lean towards a cool color, which means it may work best on people with cool undertones.

Eye Color

Although your eye color is not quite as important as your undertone, you’d still need to consider that. Go for a shade that’s opposite your eye color on the color wheel. Below are some lipstick shades that complement each eye color.

• Blue eyes –  Choose coral, peach, bronze and copper
• Green eyes – Choose berry, plum, mauve, brown and terra cotta
• Brown eyes – Choose deep red, burgundy and rosy pink
• Hazel eyes – Choose warm brown, neutral mauve, golden red and copper
