Choosing the right lipstick shade for your skin tone is a thing of the past with the variety of tips that exist today. First of all, it is important to know your skin tone and undertone in detail.
You have to be sincere to be able to hit the target. There are several skin tones that can be divided into: light, medium and dark . While the undertone refers to the nuances: warm, cold or neutral . That is, if the veins on your face are bluish or violet, it is cold, and if they are greenish, it is warm. Once this is understood, follow these steps.

In addition to skin tone and undertone, you should also consider your hair color and personal style when choosing a lipstick. If you are blonde, you can opt for nude, pink or coral tones for a natural look. If you are a brunette, you can experiment with bolder colors like reds, burgundy or purples. And if you have a more rock or alternative style, you can try dark tones like black or gray.
Another tip to experiment with lipsticks
A trick that has become popular on social media to find the perfect lip shade is to use the “Finger Tip.”
It consists of taking your index finger and thumb over it. Then you will press it so that it changes color due to the blood, giving it a resemblance to lips. This way you can compare the shades of the lipsticks with the tone of your finger. Remember that it is about making your lips stand out a couple of shades more and not stealing the spotlight.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident with the lipstick color you choose. At the end of the day, makeup is a form of expression and if you have something to tell the world, let them know!
Dare to discover your ideal tone.
