The ultimate checklist to find your perfect shade:
Skin tone:
If you have a fair tone, go for pinks, reds or nudes. Berry, cherry reds, and mauve shades are must-haves for medium skin. Those with tan or dark skin should opt for deep reds and browns.
Undertone:
Warm undertones look best with coral, peach, terracotta, or warm reds and browns while colours with blue-purple undertones such as plum, mauve, berry, and cool-toned reds are best-suited for cool-toned skin. Those with neutral undertones have the best of both worlds.
Lip size:
If you have thin lips, stay away from deep colours instead opting for a blurred lip. If you have plump lips, a matte look might suit you better than glittery shades.
Texture:
For a stand-out, vibrant look, go for matte textures. Glossy textures offer a more natural look which is better for the daytime. If you crave comfort along with style, velvet finishes are your best friend.
Outfit:
Match the colour and finish of your lipstick with your outfit for the day. Contrast with a supplementary colour or double-down with the same shade.
Preference:
At the end of the day, the heart wants what it wants. Whatever makes you happy is the way to go as long as you wear it with confidence.
