Often beauty trends influence our cosmetic buying decisions. For instance, if the colour red is in, we tend to buy red lipsticks. Nevertheless, how often do we think whether the lipstick colour would suit our skin colour and match with our personality? While many of us shy away from trying bold colours after buying one, others might feel it does not go with their skin tone. Try there 6 easy ways to find out the right shade of lipstick from your favourite lipstick brand before throwing in huge amount.
- Cosmetics company understand that when they are catering to different countries, they need to come out with country specific lip colours that suit the complexion of females in that specific country. For instance, in India females with warmer skin tones should opt for browns, reds and more earthy tones rather than going with light and pale colours. Bright reds and browns minus any orange undertones go well with dusky and warm skin tone females. Females on the fairer side can try branded lip colours from the pink and orange family as too much of red can be too bold on the face.
- If you have thin lips, opt for bright colours that fill your lips. Accentuate your lip colour with the nearest shade of lip liner drawn just outside the lip line rather than inside.
- If pinks is what you fancy, go for a vivid red with subtle tine of pink or full blown fuchsia pink if you want something bold on your lips. These combination yield a sophisticated touch to your lips.
- Females with lighter complexions can go for light pinks and nudes from branded lipstick companies for summer months. The colours appear soothing to the eye and give a lighter feeling to the overall look.
- Dry lips call for lipstick shades that not only will moisturise their lips but also yield a bold colour, thereby hiding those chapped lips. Apply a nude or light shade lip balm. Continue with applying a moisturizing lipstick in shades of tangerine, bold red or brown that will give a nice pop of colour to the complexion. Stay away from matt lipsticks.
- Beery shades are in. From wheatish to fair complexions, berry lipstick shades complement almost all skin tones. When going bold with lipstick colours, keep the rest of the makeup subdued and garner compliments.
