How to choose the best lipstick for skin tone and every occasion

Choosing the right lipstick will change your overall look. It will enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence on every occasion. The right shade of lipstick makes your skin tone and smile better. Also, lipsticks will show off your personality and style. For example, a red bold lip can make a statement and confidence, and a pink shade makes you look feminine and playful.

Most women have some confusion when it comes to this matter. The first step is to determine your skin tone and find the lipstick shade. There are 5 types of skin tone: Fair, Light, Medium,

Tan and Deep. For light or fair skin tone use nude, peach, and coral shades. Cherry red, mauve, and rose shades are suited for medium skin tones. For tan skin tones use bright colours like red and pink. Deep skin tones are better with these shades, caramel, wine and brown. You also need to take into consideration your skin undertones. They are classified into three categories. Cool undertone: For cool undertones, use these shades for a natural look: mocha, pink, red, and ruby.

Warm undertone: Warm undertones can use these shades of pale pink, nude, and peachy. Neutral undertone: For these undertones, you can use any shades from warm or cool undertones.

Understanding your skin tone will help you to choose the perfect lipstick shade. It is also important to consider the occasions for choosing a perfect lipstick shade. A bold colour like red or dark colours are best for night parties or nights out. A professional meeting or job it’s best to choose a nude lipstick shade. Matte lips are common, but can be very tricky, as they can look dry and ashy. Try to stay away from pastel matte lipstick colours as they will do this. I would always advise doing a patch test before buying lipstick. First, test in your hand and analyze if it suits you, then test on your lips and assess how it looks in natural light. A patch test is important as it will help you choose the best lipstick.
