How to pick the perfect lipstick for your skin color?





Love lipstick but can't find your favorite one?

Fair/Light Skin Tones: If you’ve ever used the word “pale” or “light” to describe your skin tone, Hall-Scarmana says to look for pink lipsticks that are “either more crisp in pigment or soft and sheer.” When it comes to color, she recommends choosing a peachy pink shade — this will help neutralize your reddish undertones. Other options are petal pink shades with rose or lilac tints. 
Product Picks: Maybelline Color Sensation High Shine in Pink FreezeGiorgio Armani Rouge Ecstasy in Peony; Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Sunset Junction 

Medium Skin Tones: Lucky ladies — if you have a medium, olive-based skin tone, you can pull off most shades of pink. “[Just] avoid [pink lipsticks] with blue undertones that tend to wash you out,” advises Hall-Scarmana. “Instead, opt for a luscious watermelon shade or a nude-ish pink for a more natural look.” Also, you can never go wrong with deep pinks that have hints of caramel and brown. 

Product Picks: 
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine in Pink Devotion; L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick in Ballerina Shoes; MAC Lipstick in Candy Yum-Yum   


Deep Skin Tones: Bright and bold pinks perfectly complement darker skin tones. If you’re feeling daring, look for shades in the magenta family that stray towards fuchsia. For a more toned down look, try a lighter, purple-toned pink. Just avoid any ashy, neutral pinks, says Scarmana — they’ll wash you out. 

Product Picks:
