It’s the age old question- what’s the best lipstick for your skin tone?
How do you find the right red, the right nude, the perfect pink?
We don’t have all the answers, but hopefully this little beauty ‘how to’ will help you guys out next time you visit the beauty counter!
Fair Skin
Most of us Irish ladies have fair and freckly skin. Fruity shades, no matter the hue, will lift the colour in your face.
Orange looks great and brings some warmth to fair skin. Look for bright tones in all the shades you choose for the best effect.
Honey
Honey or golden toned skin can carry off a rich, deeper lip colour.
Any lip colour with warm and rich undertones will help to bring out those gorgeous bronze complexions.
Olive
Believe it or not, olive skin tones work best with a contrasting lip colour.
Experts recommend looking for lip colours with blue undertones to make the best of your complexion.
For those lip shades whose darker tones are less detectable, ask for advice at the make up counter.
Bronze
Experts recommend bronze skinned ladies go bold when it comes to lip colour!
But we reckon you lucky ladies can pull off almost anything!
A bold colour acts as a great contrast, but a classic nude works just as well.
Dark
Dark and deep skin tones look amazing with a berry shade.
A dark, deep shade really makes your complexion pop.
Happy shopping!
