How to Choose Your Perfect Lipstick Shade

Finding the right lipstick shade can feel overwhelming, but with a few simple guidelines, you can discover colours that complement your natural beauty perfectly. Let us walk you through the process.

Understanding Your Skin Undertone

Your undertone is the key to finding flattering lipstick shades. There are three main undertones:

Warm: If your veins appear greenish and gold jewellery suits you, you likely have warm undertones. Look for lipsticks with orange, coral, peach, and warm red tones.

Cool: If your veins appear bluish-purple and silver jewellery is your go-to, you have cool undertones. Berry, wine, plum, and blue-based red shades will look stunning.

Neutral: If you suit both gold and silver, you are neutral — lucky you! Most shades will work beautifully.

Matching Shades to Occasions

Everyday Wear: Opt for MLBB (My Lips But Better) shades — colours that are close to your natural lip colour but slightly enhanced. Nude pinks and soft mauves are perfect.

Office/Professional: Muted roses, dusty pinks, and subtle berries add polish without being distracting.

Evening/Special Events: This is the time to go bold! Deep reds, rich plums, and statement berries make a dramatic impact.

The Finish Makes a Difference

Matte: Sophisticated and long-lasting, ideal for all-day wear.

Satin: A balance of colour payoff and comfort, with a subtle sheen.

Glossy: Youthful and hydrating, perfect for a fresh, dewy look.
