How To Choose The Right Lip Color For You
To avoid buyer’s remorse, learn a few rules of thumb when buying lip color: Ideal Colors for Pale Skin If you have light pale or light pink skin, it’s best to stay with light colored pink, soft corals or warm beige colors. Great Colors for Medium Skin Oh how I envy slighter darker people because they look great wearing my favorite color, mauve. Medium skin tones can also get away with rich browns, sassy berry colors and all the members of red family. Hot Tones for Dark Skin Dark skin tones really have the advantage when it comes to color because they can wear any color the like, even orange. Dark skin tones tend to look better wearing reds, browns, and fewer lighter tones. Lip Tips I’m a fair skinned person and although my skin isn’t extremely light, it’s light enough but I love dark colors. One way that I kind of spoof people and look good wearing those darker colors is by changing to a darker foundation and powder color. I can only get away with it at night though! Here are a few more handy tips. If you want longwearing lipstick but you’re favorite color isn’t the 18-hour stuff, don’t worry. Color in your lips using your favorite pencil color and apply your favorite color on top. It will last all day or all night. Is you lip color a bit brighter than expected, don’t smudge it off! Fill in your lips using a darker color pencil and lightly applied the same lip color. It changes it making it a bit lighter and will wear for hours. Avoid using color testers in the store; you never know who else has been before you. Yuck! To get the most out of your lip color store your lipstick in the refrigerator. It will last much longer. To make lips look fuller, outline with lip liner and fill in the lips. If you want hot, sexy, lips just use a small amount of glitter mixed in with your favorite color. I like silvery pink glitter! Learn to experiment with color and don’t be afraid and find what’s right for you. Once you get those compliments, you’ll be glad you did.
