How to Choose the Right Lipstick Shade for your Skin Tone
Lips? without Lipstick? are like cake? without Frosting
Lipsticks are an essential part of every women’s beauty bag. Everyday makeup routine is basically incomplete without Lipstick. But it may have been a lot of times that you have invested lots of bucks for a wrong shade or product. Basically, not every Lipstick shade is apt for every skin tone. But when shopping online, you cannot try all the colors and thus it becomes really difficult to decide which product to buy.
The choice of lipsticks usually depends upon more than one factors-
1. The skin tone – Skin tone is a big determining factor. The same lipstick shade would not suit all skin tones. Thus fair, medium and darker skinned tones need to select different Lipstick shade based on their skin tone.
2. The occasion – Everyday wear requires more natural and nude shades rather than hot and bold reds or maroons.
3.The texture of lipstick – Today we have so many lipstick textures to choose from. There are Lipstick stains, glosses, mattes etc. To solve this confusion, it’s advisable to go through the basics of choosing the right color.
