However just because some colours may not suit you doesn't mean that you can't find your perfect shade to make you glow! So pucker up whilst I talk you through the colours that flatter your skin tone the most and how to recognise which category you are in!
Firstly lets find out what skin tone you are and then we can get on to the good stuff!
There are three types of under tones that can be determined by the colour of your veins (I find it best looking at my wrists), these are yellow, pink and neutral. If you have yellow undertones you most likely have veins that appear green. On the contrary if you have pink undertones your veins should appear blue. As for neutral under tones you have a bit of both and normally have an olive complexion.
So now we have found out what undertone you are lets talk about your actual skin tone. Your skin tone is the colour of your skin such as; fair, olive, medium, dark ect... and this will help determine the colours that really suit your complexion and make you radiant looking!
Fair
Blue based lipsticks suit most skin tones but particularly fair skin. Wearing the wrong lip stick can really wash your fair skin complexion out, so to avoid this it is great to add a bit of colour. Bright colours such as coral reds love you and will really make your smile pop! If your looking for a nude it's best to go for a shade slightly deeper than your natural colour. By doing so this adds dimension and really brightens your face.
Medium
If you have a medium skin tone then you want colours to enhance your natural glow so by sticking to corals and golden colours this will give you a youthful appearance. My skin tone is between medium and olive and when I tan my favourite colour to wear is coral with slight gold shimmer, it really makes my skin look glowing and healthy! For a more darker colour opt for a brick red, it's classic but it works and really helps excentuate your features.
Olive
Oh olive skin how i love to see you glow! Jennifer Lopez doesn't get her infamous J Lo glow name from anywhere! Her skin naturally glows but by adding the right lippy this really makes her features stand out! I can't help but love olive skin tones as I feel that it's so easy to make olive complexions shine from within. Olive skin is known for having its sexy appeal and lipsticks are only the icing! Olive skin tones are beautiful when paired with cranberry colours and nudes close to your lip colour.
Dark
If you are considered dark skin then I am truly envious of you because you can pull off most shades! You probably have luscious full lips and so bright colour look fab on you as they won't make your lips disappear! Not only that but you can pull of any dark colour as it compliments your skin tone, Now in my opinion you can pull off virtually any lip colour including a pale pink, however dark reds and cranberries will really add a sexy hint to your persona. If your thinking of something a bit more natural than stick to your lip colour but a bit more glossier!
So there you have it! Lip shades to really enhance your beautiful complexion! I hope this helped you out and leave me a comment telling me what skin tone you are and what lipsticks you really love!
Thanks for reading!
Lots of love Sinead x
