How to Choose the Best Lipstick for Your Skin Tone

Lipstick is a cornerstone of everyone’s beauty routine and an essential to every beauty bag. It’s one of the few products that can finish a look, or be a look all on its own. With so many lip products available, finding the right product for you can be a challenge, but finding the perfect shade and formula is always, always worth the leg work.

Every lipstick color has its own story and statement to make. There are so many colors that a person has to choose them. The whole idea is to find out what these colors suggest from their looks and feels. Of course, women get confused a lot of times because of the spoilt choices they have. But, there are a few things that lipstick shades tell you. There are stories, there are inside meanings and definitely a hidden perspective in these lipstick shades. Personality is also one of the most important things when it comes to choosing a color. However, most of the times, the color that you choose is always your to-go color that makes you want to wear it more often.These days, lip color comes in so many formulas that you’re not bound to any one thing.

For example: some people have very lightly pigmented lips, so adding a bit of color, natural or dramatic, can simply help their face look healthier and more vibrant without having to apply a ton of makeup. Matching a lipstick to a gown or even a t-shirt can bring the color up to your face and tie and outfit together. Basically it’s there to define your mouth and give your face a little more structure.

Traditional lipstick is made with waxes, oils, and pigments and in the form of a stick that is housed in a tube that twists up to apply and back down to travel safely. Stick lipsticks have the widest range of finishes, from high gloss to matte, and typically have the largest variety of shades compared to other formulas, depending on the brand.

Liquid Lipsticks

are the newest and fastest growing formula. Though the each formula differs, liquids are typically known for full opacity and all day wear. They apply, as the name indicates, as a liquid, but unlike traditional lipsticks, they fully dry down on the lip to a velvety finish that doesn’t budge. Their packaging is similar to that of a lip gloss, as they are in a tube and applied with a wand with a doe foot applicator on the tip. If you want a bulletproof lip, a liquid is the way to go. Because they dry down and wear well for so long, some formulas can tend to be a little drying.

Generation G lip color:

are the most popular on the market, be careful with matte nudes. A matte nude lip gives you a lot better chance of looking chalky or ghostly. Before applying your nude lipstick, it’s a great idea to apply a sugar scrub or lip exfoliator for seamless application and a balm for moisture. If your lipstick has a creamy, satin, or shiny finish, you probably won’t need a gloss. But a word to the wise: If you choose a matte nude lipstick, please top it off with a little gloss to add some definition and shine. We don’t want your lips to fade away! On that note, be sure to dust some bronzer on the tops of your cheekbones and forehead, and don’t forget a swirl of blush (Mama would never let you anyway). Nude lipsticks don’t go well with a completely bare face, so offset them with a little flush and bold brows or an extra helping of mascara.
