1. Find Out What is Your Skin Tone

Identifying your skin tone is the first step in selecting the ideal lipstick shade. Fair, light, medium, tan, and deep are the five primary categories. On fair or light complexion, lipstick hues like coral, peach, nude, and dusty red look stunning. For a medium skin tone, however, berry, rose, cherry red, and mauve are the best options. Those with a deep skin tone will glow in brown and purple tones like plum, caramel, wine, and reds with blue undertones, while those with tans may fully wear bright red, coral, and deep pink colors.

2. Find Your Skin Undertone

Finding the proper lipstick colour depends equally on knowing what kind of skin undertone you have. Undertones can be classified as either chilly, warm, or neutral.

Cool Undertones

How to Spot a Cool Undertone in Yourself If your complexion has a pink, red, or blue tint, you are cool-toned. Additionally, you may determine if your undertone is cold if your skin is complemented by silver items and jewelry, if your skin tends to burn in the sun before tanning, or if the veins in your wrist seem blue.

The ideal lip colors for you are: Choose colors with undertones of blue or purple. These colors are available in the Maybelline lipstick palette.

Warm Undertones

How to Tell if Your Undertone Is Warm: If your complexion has a yellow, golden, or olive undertone, you are warm-toned. If gold jewelry compliments your skin tone, you tend to sunburn quickly, or the veins in your wrist seem green, you can also determine that your undertone is warm.

The ideal lip colors for you are: Your best chance is to use fiery reds, oranges, and copper tones. For Maybelline lipsticks that look good on warm undertones, scroll down.

Neutral Undertones

How to Tell if Your Undertone Is Neutral: If the basis of your skin is a mixture of pink and yellow, you have neutral skin tone. Additionally, if you look excellent in both silver and gold jewelry, you may categorize your undertone as neutral.

The best lipstick colors for you are: those that fall somewhere in the middle, from dark tones to paler hues like Maybelline’s Sensational Cushion Matte Lip Tint. For additional lipsticks that look good with a neutral undertone, scroll down.

3. Consider the Shape of Your Lips

Remember to take your lips’ shape into consideration while selecting the ideal lipstick. Here is an overview:

• Use bright lipstick on your bottom lip and a little darker shade of the same hue on your upper lip if you have top-heavy lips.

• For lips with a heavy bottom layer: Use any shade that complements your undertone and dab a tiny touch of light nude shade in the center of your top lip.

• Use a lip pencil to outline your lips if they are asymmetrical and the color is comparable to your lipstick.

• For thin lips, choose softer hues rather than dark or flamboyant ones.
• For fuller lips, use deeper hues; stay away from glossy, too-light tints.

4. Consider your hair color.

Actually, the color of your lipstick will be greatly influenced by the color of your hair. Look at this color wheel:

• Scarlet, cherry, plum, and brilliant pink; fair and pale complexion; dark hair
• Blonde hair; fair skin; and purplish, dusty, pale, and scarlet colors
• Deep skin tones like bronze, ochre, terracotta, and golden brown; dark hair; and tan.
• Warm pink, salmon pink, caramel, ochre, and blond hair with tan and deep skin
• Brown hair; beige, coral, salmon pink, deep dusty pink; medium skin
• Salmon pink, coral, terracotta, burnt sienna, and pale complexion with red hair.
