Which Summer lip shade suits you?
Fact: One of the most popular makeup-related searches on Google is "What colour lipstick should I wear?" The right answer? The one that looks best against your skin tone!
Finding the right lipstick is much like finding your perfect jeans; it’s all based on YOU. Every skin tone is unique – your undertone will dictate which shade looks FIRE or fail.
Figure out if your undertone is warm, neutral or cool:
DOES YOUR SKIN TND TO BURN OR TAN IN THE SUN?
If you burn, your undertones are cooler. If you tan, your undertones are warm.
WHAT DOES YOUR FOUNDATION SAY?
Most foundations will tell you what tones they best suit, but if in doubt: Google!
LOOK AT THE COLOUR OF THE VEINS ON YOUR WRIST.
Blue veins usually mean cool, while green usually mean warm. If you find it difficult to tell, you may be neutral.
Once you've found your undertone, choose a lipstick with a complimentary colouring.
COOL UNDERTONE:
Blue-toned lipsticks, like deep classic reds, look great on a cool face.
WARM UNDERTONE:
Warm skin tones are complemented by peachy, and orangey lipsticks.
NEUTRAL UNDERTONE:
A mauvey shade that enhances your natural lip colour works best.
DARK SKIN:
Deep berry and plum tones are beautiful on dark skin.
OLIVE SKIN:
Warm tones, like a reddish orange, are great on olivey skin.
VERY FAIR SKIN:
Bold lipsticks can be harsh on pale skin, so opt for a natural pinky shade.
