♥10 Lipstick Tips♥

Which lipstick suits you?
It must be one of the worst things when you're in a shop and you invest in a brand new lipstick that's a gorgeous colour. You take it home, eager to see what it looks like, then once it's on, you decide it doesn't suit you.. and it ends up at the back of the makeup drawer or shelf untouched. So the question you ask yourself is, what lipstick suits you? I've summed up a list of about 10 points to consider for the perfect lip shade for you!
- According to Bobbi Brown, choose a lipstick that is like the natural shade of your lips, but a few shades darker, if your lips are PALE, choose a lip colour that is beige,sandy, or pale pink. If your lips are a MEDIUM lip tone, use browns and rosy colours. DARK lips can pull of mulled wine,raisin,chocolate and blackberry colours.
- Choose the colour depending on the time of day, example: stick to berry glosses in the day, then a burgundy colour for evenings and nights to intensify the look.
- Your skin tone affects your lip colour choice as well as your original lip colour, if you have an english rose colour skin tone, avoid an orangey brown lipstick, and if you have olive skin- avoid girly pinks!
- Women with fair skin, look better in shades like nudes,apricots,pinks,light corals.
- REDS,DEEP PLUMS,CHOCOLATES + DARK SKIN TONES = YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND. Seriously. I envy those who can pull of these colours. "Women with dark skin can go in one of two directions: Toward brown or purple. Think caramel or walnut for day, and plum or wine for evening" - Allure's / Confessions of a beauty editor.
- If you have THIN lips, stay away from dark shades as they will just show of the thinness of them,creamy lighter/medium shades of lipsticks or tinted lipglosses are your best bet as they will add plumpness!
- How to pick the right shade of red? It's all about the undertones of your skin. Pink-skinned? Go for cherry reds. Olive skinned? Fire engine red. Dark skinned? Deep reds.
- Don't match lips to your outfit!
- If you don't want to go full on out with a red lipstick, use a red lip stain or a tinted balm for a more subtle sweet look!
- If you are Asian - go for a glossy peach lipgloss or something with a coral tint! Middle eastern? Nude colours will look amazing on you,it will give a gorgeous contrast! Native Americans, you will have a more warm tone,so a copper tone will look beautiful. If you are Indian, orange looks lovely, as well as pinks and reds:)
