Tips For Choosing The Right Lipstick Color

Choosing the right lipstick color seems to be one of the most confusing and often expensive parts of makeup shopping. Women have used lipstick, in various forms, for thousands of years to enhance their lip color. Lipstick was mainly some sort of red pigment applied as a stain to give the alluring appearance of more blood circulating in the lips.

These days, with technology and diverse fashion trends, there are hundreds of thousands of lipstick colors available. This makes it really quite hard to choose the perfect lipstick color. The best way to get the right color is to try and try again. Everyone is different and everyone has so many different variables to consider. There are so many factors to consider!


First, look at the texture- matte, sheer, cream, gloss, iridescent or a combination of any of these.

Matte - is longer lasting, is high in pigment but can be drying, so not ideal for dry or chapped lips.

Sheer - has less color pigment, is more moisturizing, good if you have dry lips and want a less intense look. Not so long lasting.

Cream - usually highly pigmented, creamy texture, has a slight sheen.

Gloss - High shine, can be clear or pigmented, can be worn on its own or over a lipstick color. Makes lips look bigger. Needs to be re-applied often.

Iridescent - has a shimmer, best used with a lip liner to avoid losing the lip shape.

Next, consider the shade – light, medium or dark. It is really up to you as to what you prefer, but think about these factors when deciding. Dark lipstick will make lips look thinner. Light lipstick will make lips look larger and gloss will add more dimension, making lips appear fuller. In saying that, if you have a darker complexion, stay away from light shades, it will just look out of place and unnatural.

To find a neutral color, one that will look totally natural and give you a "no makeup look", choose a lipstick color that is the same color as your lips but a shade or two darker. Notice what colors appear in your lips naturally and look for something to match.

Get used to examining color. Look closely at what colors your skin is made up of. It's actually lots of different layers of different colors. If your skin has a pink undertone, stick to lipstick colors that have a cool base i.e. blue based pinks, mauves and reds. If your skin has a yellow or olive undertone, go for lipstick colors with a warmer base, such as warm browns, orange-based reds, bronzes or warm pinks.

To confuse you even further, lots of lipstick colors on the market today aren't obviously cool or warm. That's because, they may be made up of both cool and warm pigments.

A good way to see how the color works with your skin tone is to apply it to the inside of your wrist. This area is usually a true indication of your skin tone because it hasn't been exposed to the sun.

And last but not least, consider your own personality; wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Don't forget that makeup is an art so it's ok to be creative, just be prepared to try on quite a few colors before you find "the one."
