How to find out which lipstick color suits you best: five key rules for the perfect choice

Making the right choice of lipstick is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. After all, you need to take into account the color of your hair, eyes, skin tone, lip shape, and even age. This was reported by SSPDaily.

What lipstick color is suitable for blondes, brunettes and redheads

There are general rules that must be followed:

• blondes with fair skin should opt for pale pink, red, or purple-pink shades;
• blondes with dark skin can safely choose any caramel shades, as well as salmon, terracotta, bronze, and ocher color;
• cherry, red, plum, and bright pink shades are best for owners of dark hair and fair skin;
• brunettes with dark skin should choose golden beige, terracotta, and bronze shades;

• brown-haired women with medium-light skin should choose dusty pink, salmon, beige or coral lipstick;
• redheads should pay attention to terracotta, salmon, or coral shades.

How to choose lipstick by eye color

When choosing a lipstick, eye color plays an equally important role. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to.

If we talk about which lipstick is suitable for brown eyes, then you need to choose a light pink or rich red shade with a light brown tint.

Deep pink colors are the best for green-eyed people. Terracotta shades are also suitable.

Owners of blue eyes should pay attention to cherry or red lipstick.

Plum or beige colors are best for gray-eyed people.

How to find out which lipstick color suits your color type

When combining colors, it is important to remember one rule: warm shades are combined with warm shades, and cold shades with cold shades. And this principle works best when choosing a lipstick. Experts distinguish only three main subtones. It is important not to confuse the undertone with darkness.

Cool undertone

If your skin has a bluish, reddish, or pinkish tint, blushes quickly, and the veins on the inside of your wrist are blue, you have a cold undertone. Also, silver jewelry, not gold, is best for this skin undertone. Those with this undertone and fair skin should choose plum, cherry, purple, violet, raspberry, and magenta lipstick. All nude shades are also suitable for you.

Dark skin can also have a cold undertone, especially if cranberry or pink colors stand out. Such women should pay attention to ruby or wine lipstick.

Warm undertone

If your skin has a yellow, golden, or olive hue, and the veins on the inside of your wrist are greenish or blue, your undertone is warm. Such skin tans easily and is more suitable for gold jewelry.

For those with dark and very tanned skin, it is better to choose copper or bronze lipstick shades. And for fair skin, the best options are dusty rose, delicate peach, red with an orange tint.

Neutral undertone

It happens that it is impossible to attribute your skin color to a specific subton. Almost any shade of lipstick is suitable for such women: from deep red and pale pink to extravagant blue.

How to choose lipstick color according to the shape and size of your lips

This is one of the most important factors. Although the lipstick should match your eye and hair color and skin tone, you are applying it to your lips, attracting all the attention. If you choose the wrong color, your lips may appear thinner than they really are, and vice versa.

For thin lips, experts recommend choosing neutral shades. You need to work with bright colors as carefully as possible. Be sure to blend the contour and use a highlighter over the lips. Then they will look more lush. Dark saturated colors make thin lips look even thinner.

Owners of voluminous lips should not apply neon lipsticks, lipsticks with a glossy texture, or too bright shades. Delicate creamy and matte lipsticks are perfect. However, they should not be too pale.

What lipstick color is suitable for mature women

For young women, absolutely everything is often suitable. This is the time to experiment and choose different shades. By the age of 30, a woman already understands what she wants to achieve from makeup, and therefore begins to focus on skin tone, hair and eye color. At this age, it is worth adding moisturizer.

For mature ladies, pearlescent, shiny, and too bright shades are not suitable at all.
