When it comes to choosing the right lipstick color, the general rule is to select a shade that is either the same shade or a little bit lighter than your skin tone. If you have pale skin, then you should choose cooler shades of lipstick, whereas if you have darker skin, you'll want to choose warmer nude shades.
While these guidelines may seem easy enough to follow, selecting the perfect lip color for you may be a bit overwhelming at first. You may find several shades that you like, only to find out that once you have put them on, they are either too dark, too light, or not compatible with your skin tone.
Here are some tips on how to choose the right lip colour
No one would want to wear the wrong lip colour, especially the ones that just divert attention from your shimmering pink lips to yellow teeth.
Vogue India gives some tips on how to choose the right lip colour:
Pale pink: Instead of blah nudes that make teeth look more yellow, pick brightening shimmery pinks, says Marissa Nemes, a makeup artist in Miami.
Sheer pink: A hydrating, see through gloss with a hint of a berry (versus orange-y versions like coral) counteracts subtle yellowing.
Light pink: Bolder than sheer glosses, these matte rose shades have just the right blue undertone to minimize yellowish tinges on teeth.
Bright pink: Whether bubble gum or fuchsia, these electric blue-based colours dramatically brighten, says Edward Cruz, a New York-based makeup artist.
Bright red: Bold, opaque reds can make teeth appear up to two shades whiter, Nemes says. Apply two layers straight from the tube for a more intense effect.
Deep red: It's little surprise that the classic femme fatale colour creates the ultimate sexy smile. Apply with your finger for a lasting stain-like finish.
