Choose the Right Lip Color

Sexy lips are all about the right shade, ladies. Every trendy woman appreciates the instant appeal that lips garner. Use fun shades and colors to pucker up this season. While some women can pull off the most unusual shades of lip color, a majority of us struggle to get even the simplest shade right. Plus, the many options and possibilities available today make it far from easy. Here are a few easy steps to choose the right lip color that suits you best. Start with identifying the natural undertone to your skin. Have a look at your wrist in natural light—if the veins on your arm seem bluish, you have a cool undertone. If they lean more toward green, then you’re warm.

Light Skins

Fair or light skinned women look stunning in pinkish hues, beige, and light husky browns. Blush baby pinks and subtle mauve bring out the essence in women with cool undertones. Perfect for sunny days, nude peach tones and beach sandy shades work better on warm undertones. Glam it up and hit a winner every single time with classic bright red lips. However, avoid using deep chocolates and rich burgundies.

Neutral Complexions

Plum hues and rosy pink tones are ideal day colors for women with medium complexions. Keep the deep dark reds to compliment your bold and rambunctious night spirit. Cinnamon and copper shades go brilliantly with warm undertones. It’s best you leave nude colors aside to avoid looking washed out.

Husky Olive Complexions

Enjoy your days with dark berry rich tones to gain that pristine, sun kissed look. Olive skinned women have a choice of pickings as they can pull off both warm and cool undertones. Try anything between tan and light browns during the day to deep reds at night. Leave brighter reds with hues of pink and orange alone, unless you want to look like someone about to be violently ill.

Dark and Ebony Skin Tones

Illuminate darker skin tones with deep murky reds accented with a hint of blue. Women with cool undertones should opt for colors like wine, raisin, and ruby red. Those with warm undertones would be better off sporting copper and honey shades. Stay away from anything orange, as they tend to make dark skins look jaundiced.

Remember ladies, painting your lips is an expression of art, so get creative and have fun with colorful kisses.
