141 Shares

Have you ever wondered what lipsticks would work best for your skin tone? With hundreds of lip colors to pick from, knowing which ones to try can seem daunting. Today I am going to walk you through which shade ranges and undertones will best compliment your complexion.

Determine Your Skin Tone

How do you choose the lip color that will look best on you? An important part is choosing a shade that complements your skin tone. Need help identifying your skin tone? Check out my guide that walks you through finding your undertone.

Once you know your skin tone here are the rules, well sort of. Remember with makeup, you can break the rules!! You can wear any tone, but some will look a bit more flattering than others.

Skin with a warm undertone will look best with shades that have yellow and orange tones, while skin with a cool undertone will look better with shades that have blue and purple tones.

Lipstick By Complexion

Here are even more options based on your skin tone as well as your complexion. Don’t be afraid to step out of the box and try colors that you’ve never tried before!

CAUTION: Can any complexion wear the following? The answer is YES! Please don’t think for one minute that these can ONLY be worn by these complexions. If you are anything like me, you will try them all 😉

Fair Skin-Neutral Colors

If you are looking for a neutral color with anti-aging properties, I suggest Collagen Core Lipstick in Sincere

or if you’d like a matte formula, check out Mavens
Mattes in Reveal Me

Fair Skin-Bright Colors

If you have fair skin with cool undertones and want to brighten things up a bit, you’ll LOVE Mineral
Lipstick in Risky

or for those that have fair skin with warm undertones, Ultra Matte Lipstick in Daring is the perfect pop of color.

Fair Skin-Bold Colors

If you are ready to try something a bit more bold, and have fair skin with warm undertones, Velvet
Lipstick in XOXO is my go to.

For those with fair skin with cooler undertones, Velvet Lipstick in Chianti will show off your pout!
