3 conditions to choose the perfect lipstick

Choosing the right lipstick color and enhancing the beauty of your lips is not simple. Just determine your skin tone and pay a little attention to color combinations to have satisfactory lipsticks.

Lipstick is known as a powerful weapon to help women become more attractive and charming to men, however, choosing lipstick is not simply following the current lipstick trends. On the contrary, choosing lipstick requires women to have certain knowledge to avoid unnecessary disasters when applying makeup.

1. Choose lipstick based on lip size

As a rule of thumb, people with thin lips should avoid dark colors, and people with full lips should avoid bright colors. Dark colors on thin lips can make your lips look even thinner, while bright colors on full lips can make your lips look fuller.

2. Choose by skin color

Based on the color of veins under the skin:

Determine your skin tone by: Looking at the veins on your wrist, if they are green, your skin is warm (yellow undertone), if they are blue, your skin is cool (pink unsertone). If you have both green and blue veins, your skin is neutral. If it is too difficult to distinguish the color of the veins, you can compare gold and silver jewelry on both sides of your face. If your skin is warm, it will show up clearly under yellow light, otherwise it is cool undertone.

- The best lipstick colors for warm skin tones are warm tones such as red, orange or amber. A dark red lipstick is best for fancy parties, while nude or dark colors will make you look younger when worn every day. Avoid purple because it will highlight the yellow tones on the skin, making the face look sallow and lifeless.

- For cool skin tones, lipstick colors such as blue, gray, and white are the most suitable. For example, a peachy pink lipstick will do a good job of bringing a fresh look all day. For more impressive occasions, you can use orange or brick-colored lipstick. Avoid colors with blue or too dark tones because they will make your skin look anemic.

Based on overall skin color:

- Light skin: has two shades: pinkish white or blueish white.

If you have fair skin, this is a very favorable condition for you to freely choose the lipstick color you like, without having to think too much. Light pink, orange pink, purple or dark pink tones... all bring you a youthful beauty that many people desire.

If your skin is pale or sallow, it doesn’t mean that the lipstick color has to be a dark tone. On the contrary, for girls with this skin tone, the perfect color is pink-orange, peach-pink or bright peach.

- Yellow skin: This is the most versatile skin color. Except for purple tones, any lipstick can be applied to this skin.

- Dark skin: Women with dark skin are usually not too picky about lipstick colors. Using orange or coral will be especially attractive, in addition, plum, dark red or bright red are also suitable. Just avoid colors that are too bright, or colors with white tones that contrast with skin pigmentation.

3. Choose lipstick color according to age

- Under 20: Should not use dark colors, will lose the inherent youthfulness. Should use lip gloss in stick or liquid form with light color, will help the face look fresher. Strawberry pink lipstick is suitable for girls in their 20s.

- Over 20: Can use orange, strawberry pink combined with colorless lip gloss.

- Over 30: Dark colors can be the choice for girls at this age. You should choose colors such as wine red, reddish brown, orange-brown… to create charm for the face.
