As neon lip shades are making their mark in the latest fashion trends in India, but this doesn’t mean that it will suit every skin tone. Most fashion magazines and brands often focus on a single tone and we all follow them blindly. However, I believe that not every shade goes with every skin tone. So, I have tried to create an ultimate guide that will help you to choose the right lipstick shade, as per your skin tone.
Remember fingertip rule while buying a lipstick
The secret of choosing the correct lipstick as per your skin tone is at your fingertips. Generally, girls test lipstick on the back of their hand. It’s the wrong way of testing because the tone of hand varies from the color of lips. But the texture of your fingertips resembles with your lips. So, try out the shades on your fingertips, then place it against your face and make a wise choice. One tested and tried rule for picking the best lipstick is choose one or two shades darker than your natural lip color.
Choose as per your skin tone and undertone
To know which lip shade will go best on you, first see what is your skin tone. Whether you have a dusky, wheatish or fair complexion. After that, you should have a knowledge about your undertone. Our skin has either a warm undertone(green veins) or a cool undertone(blue).
Let’s check out what lip colors will go perfectly as per your skin complexion as well as your undertone:
Dark complexion: Opt for lipstick shades like purple, red and brown, if you've got a dark complexion. Avoid shades like orange shades as it will not look good on you.
Wheatish complexion: If you have wheatish complexion, you can confidently apply any lip shade. Whether its fuchsia pink or hue of brown, almost every lip shade will complement your skin tone. Though, you need to avoid nude shades because they can make you look pale.
Warm undertone: Shades of copper, bronze, and cinnamon will perfectly go with your undertone.
Cool undertone: Shades of pink will flatter you the most. Red shades will also complement your complexion. You can also choose darker shade like cranberry, but tomato red is no for your complexion.
Fair complexion: Shades like corals and apricot will make you look captivating and appealing. But, dark shades will not work on your complexion. You can choose medium shades of pink, and red will glam up your overall look. In addition, fair complexion woman’s should avoid the shades of orange and brown, as they will just throw your look off.
Warm undertones: Look marvelous with peach and coral lipstick.
