How to Choose Lipsticks


When it comes to choosing a lipstick almost all girls feel like as if they are left alone in a huge maze..puzzled and confused. The best shade makes you look great and cool even without no other make up and on the other hand If went wrong it can look extremely awkward and turn you down even when your wearing a beautiful outfit or edgy hairstyle. Here are some tips for choosing lipstick
The first and most important step is to know is what your skin undertone is. There are 3 types of undertone. Warm, cool  and neutral.
Here is a simple procedure to know what your skin tone is:
  1. 1.       Stand in sunlight check your wrist - if your skin is pale and veins are blue then you have a cool skin tone if your veins are less visible then you have warm skin tone. But if your veins are some what visible you belong to neutral tone (rare tone).
  2. 2.       Which suits you most ? gold or silver

   Gold – you are warm
   Silver – you are cool
    Both – neutral
For warm undertones:

Shades of certain browns , cappuccino and caramel will suit you the best. You also can have red orange corals and wine in your wardrobe.Lipsticks with yellow or orange undertones (not too bright orange) are meant for you.

For cool undertones:

Stick to colors like peach, pale pink.  Also classic beige, rich raspberries and blue reds will suit you.Sheer natural colors too will look great on you.
For neutral undertone:
You’re the fortunate..Almost every color will look good on you. However your complexion and color of lips have to b considered.

Some tips to be remembered:
  • ·         Consider your eye make up while choosing lipstick. If you are wearing a heavy make up wear a light shade (unless your in the cover of playboy magazine!) . Otherwise you tend to look lyk a clown. Likewise if your wearing minimal or no eye make up at all you can go with a brighter catchy shade.
  • ·         Women with larger lips can use purples or bronzes. Those with smaller lips should use  peach, apricot etc.
  • ·         Wear lighter and matte finish lipsticks at day time. Keep away glittering ones for evening parties.
  • ·         Matte finish lip colors are like for the ones who love to be bold. Shimmery lipcolors give your lips a fuller younger look.
