Pick The Best Shade Of Lipstick


Pick The Best Shade Of Lipstick
Lipstick can be a great way to make you look more attractive and sexy to the opposite sex. It is however, very important to pick the right color. If you use the wrong color it can make your skin look off-color and really draws attention to your face instead of complimenting it. This article will help you pick the lipstick color that’s right for you! 
 It is very important to use a color that is going to compliment your skin tone. If your skin color appears darker then you will see that plums, wine colors and very deep reds will suit your skin very well because your skin tone won’t be overpowered by these bright colors.
If you have a lighter or paler skin tone then you will see that the best shades for you are going to be light colors like light browns or beiges with a pink or orange undertone to them. It is imperative to stay with these colors otherwise you could be using colors that are drastically too strong for your face or skin tone.
 The best shades to use for people with olive skin tones are reds that are mildly brownish, very light browns and possibly raisin colors or other darker reds. 
 It is very important that you wear a different color in the daytime and the evening. In the daytime go for more light and natural colors. You’ll see that using a lipstick with a cream colored matte shade will be more subtle to your skin tone. At night you can go for those brighter shades to really pull off that sexy look. .





Experiment with lots of colors to get the color that is right for you. There are a lot of ways you can do this, but the best way is to visit the makeup counter of a big store. You can talk to someone with more makeup experience there and get some insiders tips on the color they think will work best for your skin. Before picking a shade, go outside with a mirror and see if you like the shade in natural light. Some colors look different under florescent lights than they do in the sunlight. 
 Don’t forget to purchase a liner to go with your new shade. The liner should be in the same colors as your lipstick only a shade or two darker in order to outline the lips.
