Let’s Go Over The Best Lipstick Shades For Each Skintone
Below is a general overview of what shades are most flattering for each skin tone! Take these into consideration the next time you’re about to purchase a lipstick.
Fair Skin Tone
For those with fair skin lipsticks with light shades and cool undertones are most flattering. Bright pinks, peaches, corals, oranges, rich reds, and nude shades. Looking washed out is not fun! To prevent this avoid dark shades.
Light Skin Tones
Light skin tones have a wider range of shades. Both cool and warm undertones are flattering.
Soft Pinks, light corals, and berry shades are optimal for a natural look. Because of the wider range of options browns, warm oranges, and dark reds look stunning for a bold lip or night out!
Medium Skin Tone
When it comes to medium skin tones dark shades with warm undertones look great. Try rosy pinks, warm browns, deep berries, golden beige nudes, taupe shades, and dark reds.
Looking ashy is not fun, to avoid this keep light and cool tones out.
Olive Skin Tones
An Olive skint tone has both cool and neutral undertones meaning there is quite a range you can choose from. Earthy and warm tones complement olive skin tones very well! Caramel, deep pinks, terracotta, orangey nudes, and warm brick reds are great options.
For some drama and pop mauves, deep berries, and dark purples are the way to go.
Dark Skin Tones
Bold and bright shades look stunning on dark skin tones! Dark plums, burgundy, deep reds, and purples also match well.
For a bold statement use hot pinks, electric oranges, and fuchsias. Don’t shy away from bold shades, they look stunning! Light makeup and bold lip always look good.
