To choose the right lipstick, you need to first know your skin tone. In this case, it is important to know how to determine your skin tone.
After discovering your skin tone type, the right lipstick will look perfect on you. Below are ways you can choose the right lipstick for your skin tone:
Try blue- or purple-shaded lipstick colours if you have cool undertones
If you have cool undertones, choose bluish-red, magenta-pink, or purplish-brown. Avoid oranges and colours that are too pale because they can wash you out.
Choose reds and orange colours if you have warm undertones
For warm undertones, great options include corals, peaches, and bright reds.
- If you have fair or light skin, try red with blue undertones (this will make your teeth look very white, too), coral, pale pink, or peachy nudes.
- If you have tan or medium skin, go for cherry red, rose, mauve, corals, or berry. Try tangerine, orange-red, copper, or bronze.
- If you have a dark or deep complexion, look for browns, copper, bronze, purples, caramel, plumb, or wine-colored lipsticks.

Play with colour if you have neutral tones
If you have neutral undertones, most colours will look good on you.
- Try to play up your complexion by wearing darker, contrasting colours if you have pale skin, corals if you have olive or tan skin, and berry colors if you have dark skin.
